Nice haul!!!! Lots of real nice slabs.
Some thulite is really pretty. It is typically pink and green. It actually related to tanzanite as it is a zoisite mix. I have cabbed a bunch and I think every location orange peeled just a bit, but it does polish well.

Good to know Tela, I've never come across it before. I'm not sure if this piece will polish well or not, but I'm going to leave that to someone else. It's got kind of a cloudy finish to it that even when wet doesn't really disappear. Bummer.

Cool looking pieces Mel . I really like the black and white striped one in the second picture on the left hand side. Looking forward to seeing them if you do something with them!  |

ashley - I assume you mean the big slab of banded agate? I held that one back for myself except misplaced it when cleaning up my shop.... Rest assured, when it shows up, I'm going to make something(s) out of it.

Are you really going to sell some of these? My interest is perked by the stone in the first picture that is the third stone up from the bottom, in the center. It has the circles that look squashed in the center of the stone and has what looks like a nodule in the 10 o'clock position. This stone is adjacent to another round slab that has a small amount of tape on it with the number or letter 0. If you can, and if you are interested in selling it, could you give me the dimensions, especially the thickness. Let me know, if you will.
Thanks
Jim
