I've seen IB offered at Full Moon and bought a slab. Messy and I'm not optimistic about the polish. The Nellite has some nice chatoyancy. Dopped.

	I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

The Nellite is a mixture of Pietersite and Blue Tiger Eye from Namibia. The first I bought was from Blair and it is available at multiple locations. Namibian Pietersite is out of my price range, although I have made a few cabs.

Iron Buffalo is from Nevada and I believe it is chert. It is suppose to related to white buffalo which is identified as either turquoise or variscite. I've been seeing IB being offered by various sellers on facebook fullmoon. I liked the pattern and bought a slab. Currently, there are no slabs listed on ebay and etsy. Based on my target for my material, I probably paid too much for the slab.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
