Last one for now. Thank you to everyone who bid on the previous ones. Agates, Jaspers, Picasso Jasper, Plasma, Pet Wood, Turitella, Pudding Stone, T-Egg, and Unknowns. Several beautiful moss agates. For size reference, slabs were photographed on a piece of card stock that will be one layer in the box. Will be adding some slabettes, AKA, one cab wonders, to fill in some of the blank spots. I can provide specific sizes of some of the slabs upon request. Both sides of each layer are shown dry and one side wet. Close ups of selected slabs. Opening bid of $30.00 which includes SFRB shipping to Continental USA. Auction ends at 6:00 PM, CDT on Sunday, September 5th. Layer 1     Layer 2      Layer 3        Layer 4        Layer 5       Thanks for looking. |

That's a nice batch of slabs. This one looks like a Blue Mountain Jasper from Oregon. |

amygdule Just looked at it again. I think you are right. Also discovered the area I thought someone had marked a cab is actually part of the slab's pattern. The slab is 4" long.

Was able to fit some smaller pieces in. Sizes range from 2.25" to 3 7/8". All of them.  Select individuals. Far right, middle of column has dark green patterns. They appear more black in photos. Note that the triangular shaped piece of what I think is pet wood is polished.      Thanks for looking. |

That was the shape of the rock. It does not appear whoever slabbed it did any shaping to it.
Anyways, auction ends today.
Will not be listing anything else for at least a month. I did find a few more boxes of slabs to list eventually.

(I mean shape is a definite indicator to source, right?  ) |

Thank you everyone for the bids.
I ended up needing to work later than scheduled, so did not get home until well after the auction ended.
I will need to wait until the post time stamp lists hours and minutes to determine the exact time of the last bid and if it occured prior to 6:00 PM, CDT.
I will PM the winner Monday evening with payment info.
Thanks again.

I'll admit, I think I came in a little bit past the line. Saw it at the last minute and took some time to remember my password and get the post in.
