It's magnificent. Whatever the high bid may be we will make sure the winning bidder will get his money's worth.

*boom* It's not nearly as sexy as Randy's wood or Billy's legendary Mary Ellen, but if we get FOUR more bids before it closes I'm going to throw in a medium flat rate box of Picasso Marble from Utah - freight included.  (Edited to add: I don't think anyone would abuse this but just in case we should clarify one bid in a row per person until they are outbid) |

That Picasso looks like really nice material, especially the chunk in the top right of the photo. If you guys aren't familiar with Picasso you are in for a treat.

toiv0 Billy, those look awesome! Top notch y'all! I hope you guys jump on it. I would if I had a big saw.
Tommy Picasso marble is awesome, too. That'll keep people going for sure.
RTHlings are the BEST!

That piece of Picasso in the top right - as well as the one underneath it, also on the right, are two that stand out with AMAZING patterns in the rough! (The rest are pretty awesome...but those two are "top-notch"!  ) RWA3006 - Nice looking auction and very generous Randy - and kudos for putting it on! Nice additions Tommy and toiv0 - and kudos to both of you for being so generous as well !!! |

What's funny is this coming weekend I'll be out hounding Picasso! I just got done slabbing about 20 pounds of it a couple weeks ago...none of them had the pattern as those two mentioned. You get to hound for some pretty awesome materials!!! (I just hound for Fairburn Agates and "other" rocks! LOL) |

Makes me wonder what other beauties are lurking under that white crust of Tommy's stash!

I shouldn't, really, I shouldn't. But I want to soooo bad.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.
RTH means so much to me and I want it to remain alive and well.
I love AZ pet wood and Billy's MEJ. Have some pieces of Tommy's Picasso Marble from another purchase.
Someone outbid me. I may or may not increase my bid.
$250.00

One more bid will bring Tommy's Picasso into the prize. I'll also add this coprolite specimen into the mix if we get another bid. It's not polished, but shown wet.   |
