I was concerned about the top on the lace. It was fine but the bottom kept on falling off. The shapes on the free forms will change. I dop them and then figure it out. All dopped.

Jason, my valuation was based on 4 lots with three of them being blue.

There are a lot of pages on facebook that allow guest sales. Roy and Tony sell on fullmoon. Excellent point. I don't have any experience with slab sales so I guess this is the universe telling me it's time to add some knowledge. If you know how to post and navigate on facebook it isn't difficult to sell there. Shipping slabs is not hard.

I use imgbox to host since it is free and easy. Clicking on a photo can result in porn. There is no reason to click since it shows the same picture. I've been using it to post here for a long time. What I would recommend is when posting photos from that host please remove the URL from each photo. The photos show up fine on their own using only the 'img' tags - we don't need the photos to be clickable. I've edited out the links if you want to take a look at what I'm talking about. I'll try that. I've been posting the same way for more than 5 years and understand the issue.

As far as valuation on them it depends on how they are sold. The Tahoma is worth starting over $100 and the Owyhee over $1000. If they were mine, I would break them into lots and put a lot of the Owyhee on ebay on auction to gage interest. Both are difficult to find in quality. HOLY. CATS. Thank you stardiamond !! I am hesitant to go on eBay but I will be offering slabs up for sale once we can arrange transport from him to me. There are a lot of pages on facebook that allow guest sales. Roy and Tony sell on fullmoon.

There are two good size pieces remaining from the large slab for another day. You have been photo bombed in the worst way. Sexy cabs or abs? Photobombed?

I don't do belt buckles. The framing was good so I laid a 40x30 pear over the same area.

I've never rockhounded. I've been to Reno many times to play bridge. One day, my wife and I took a trip to Fallon. There was a big rock shop, since closed. They had a lot of Wonderstone. Altamontbead is located there now. One year we spent a couple days at a rock show at the Reno Fairgrounds.

I worked until age 69 because my paid well and was easy. I was not going to fully enjoy my retirement for physical and financial and physical reasons. Delaying my retirement took care of the financial issues. I worked until I no longer enjoyed my job.

We all age differently. I'm 78 and a lot of people my age are physically active. I'm not. I relate to the Black Knight in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' He has body parts lopped off and refuses to give up. I had a career in IT and what I value is mental acuity which has remained sharp. I keep very active doing brain stimulating activities like playing online Bridge and Poker. Lapidary keeps me very busy buying and selling communicating with buyers and sellers. Design and grinding are also mind stimulating.
