It's wonderful what's being done in Ed's memory. I will miss his presence here. I'll bid $325 Thanks tkvancil ! Since you put it over $300, I will add another 3 lbs of Morrisonite tumbling rough. This auction is now for 8 pounds of Morrisonite tumbling rough/pieces, valued at $480. If/when it hits $450 then I will bump it up to 10 lbs of Morrisonite tumbling rough/pieces. Only one more day to go. Closes at 8 pm mountain time Saturday night.(Aug 5, 2023) And remember FREE SHIPPING!!! Tony

Thanks Tony for getting this going.
OK, I'll start it off - gotta get that bench for Mohs- he needs a place to sit. $ 25
Wait a minute- shipping is FREE - $ 50
Patty Thanks Patty for getting it started! Thanks Dillon for your bid! Some of those pieces look big enough to trim and maybe get a cab or two out of… There are a few in here that can be trimmed and cabbed. Thanks for the bump! Thanks for your bid Chris! I thought I’d take this opportunity, and it seems quite appropriate, to learn the mohs hardness of these auction items. Looks like since this is a jasper, this would be around 6.5-7 or so on the mohs scale? Oddly, I also found on mindat that there’s also a crystaline structure called Morrisonite that is just 2.5 hardness. Obviously not the same stuff. Probably shouldn’t throw it in the tumbler! Morrisonite aka "The King of Jaspers", it comes from several claims above the Owyhee River out by Jordan Craters. It is usually about a 6-7 in hardness and comes in many different colors. These pieces are leftovers from culling the larger pieces out of the host rock. Tony
