SFRB Cabbing/Slabbing Mix.

Collected prior to the construction of an Interstate Highway exchange in Wausau, Wisconsin.

My friend was there with her parents collecting them with the gem/mineral society they were members of. All she remembered is that they were West, Northwest of Fleet Farm, across what was then a 2 lane road.

Later a full blown Interstate was constructed with on/off ramps at the location.

Photos could not capture all of the flash in these.

Auction begins now and ends at 6:00 CDT PM on Thursday, October 21.

Opening bid is $25.00, which includes USPS SFRB Priority Mail to Continental USA.

I have some in the tumbler now and they are disclosing more and more flash.

Here is the tumbling thread if you are interested in seeing what is below the surface.

Rocks with both indoor and outdoor photos. All dry.

I was able to fit 3 more rocks in the box after taking the outdoor photos.

Thanks for looking and bidding.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

There are some rust stains on the surface, which makes them look darker than normal.

I'll start it off at $25, Beth.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Spoke with my friend who gave me this.
It was collected in the 1970's. She said it was all over the ground. They did not need to dig.
She also remembered that this was her first time getting sunburnt ears. She was wearing a baseball cap.
