Purchased the last worthwhile pieces from my local storage wars guy. Check it out!

Not sure where these other ones come from. The woods are small but very very nice.

What looks like a poppy jasper and another mystery slab and other unknown material.

There’s more than this including some cathedral agate, bloodstone, some more rainbow ridge material, and what looks like cabbing grade hematite. I also picked up a purple and yellow fluorite cabinet piece that appears to be from Cave In Rock district in Illinois.

Dang Quartz!! Another great haul!! Love that Palm Wood! That "Poppy" looks like Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper...

I'm probably wrong, but this piece looks like it could be Deschutes or Biggs Picture Jasper (I could be WAY off on that! LOL):

Nice score! Agree with Jason on the MHPJ and Biggs (I think).

The blue one looks like copper complex, and if I'm seeing it correctly, that's gem silica in there (the blue that looks transparent) along with maybe malachite (green) and the red is most likely cuprite. Gorgeous stone and if it's gem silica, a total score!

The agate looks to be Brazilian or from South America somewhere.

"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."

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
