Nice job on that septarian. The Singleton Ranch pieces are over the top. And the pom pom from Needle Peak is a spectacular find!

I'm pretty sure he left by his own choice.

He's not bad, he's just drawn that way!

That, and he got into an UNwinnable argument with a bunch of wimmins.
Kinda makes him a dumbass as well!

Dear Scott: learn when to pick your fights.

just sayin'

I know he has a bunch of nice rocks though. I've been buying from him before he came to this forum. All good.

"Packing boxes with rocks today." - why I don't sell anything. I hate packing boxes.
PS - use LOTS of tape. just sayin' ...

"SO I CAN BUY MORE!" - now that's a good thing.

"i believe i am engulfed by the vortex" - rookie!

nice looking rocks BTW

ETA: "Why am i selling these?" - so you can show your better half that rocks can be profitable and that maybe you should quit your day job and collect rocks full time. See how that goes over and get back to me.

For a mere $2.50 a pound, I doubt there are any Hope diamonds in the box. That he was able to hand pick these pieces from a 2 ton pile gives us pretty good odds that these are some nice rocks though.

Made an offer on the rotating gizmo thingy. They countered & I rejected.
No biggie. It wasn't going to be for the dino bone anyway.
The (low priority) search continues.

Some fun suggestions so far. Some are great, just too large for my intended purpose.
