AzRockGeek . Those sure look huge!!! How did you get them home?? I wish they were HUGE, the total weight of everything was around 40 pounds. I wanted more Amy Sage, but there were only two dealers who had it , I went through a few pallets and some 55gal drums and only found 1 really good piece.  I hit my budget with the opal from the Aussies, I will head back in a few weeks for the Pow Wow see if there is anything new.  |

I found this in a box outside of my door. Sharing this beautiful quartz cluster I recently purchased from my friend Kelly. She owns Lingen Tree in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. I am going to leave it as is. I like the iron staining on it.   |

Well technically yesterday… What is it? quartzilla Epidote Crystals. These come out from a location about a 1/4 behind my mom’s property. I have a bunch that I’ve dug out of there over the years. |

Went back to that antique shop finally to see how big the number was in front of the 50 I could make out, it was $550! Anyway, settled for a little piece of Rhodochrosite for 7 bucks 
Also, going to attempt my first cab this afternoon. Prepare your sore eyes lol

I originally planned to cut several 1/2" thick slabs and polish them as displays, along with a couple spheres. Now, I think I may just face polish the entire piece and at it to my display. Great question. Thx. |

A few more followed me home from Tucson.  Spent my annual rock budget yesterday, good thing the shows are wrapping up soon for the season.  Namibian Shattuckite.  Some OJ.   A piece of African Purperite.  Last piece is some African Pietersite.  Need to get saws fired up soon.  |

Wow, awesome haul! That's some high dollar rough you got there. The Namibian Shattuckite is to die for.  |
