;D ;D I finally got around to cleaning up this two wheel grinding arbor taking it outside and using the high pressure washer on it , I got most the muck off , and the "chunkies" that were in the trays most were just average chunks but then this one came out --about 2"x1" (or bigger)-- solid blue flash !! --not just patches --now if I can just find the rock it came off of !! ;D --until you "hit" the flash it is just grey / black looking

I'm not especially fond of blue, but that blue, that really does rock, Dave. That blue will about knock your socks off, it's awesome, just intense. Nona

That is gorgeous blue. Blue is my favorite color but if the blue is coming from a grey/black looking stone, then I'm going to add grey and black on my favorite color list also.
What is that square one, above and to the left of the hose? That one is real pretty also.

after looking at that blue pic again-- it doesn't do it justice as for the "flash" it has --in person it really jumps out at you -- sitnwrap --the one above is a square of "teepee canyon "

How cool is that? Don't tell me that is another piece of labradorite? Very nice!
Hey, I rounded up some of the picture jasper you were wanting, with the greens and blues in it. I think you need to come and pick up the rock in person, we miss you.

Yummy blue - goodness that must have been really encrusted in there for there to be a big piece like that!!!

That is one intense piece of labradorite. Haven't seen a post from you for a long time. Nice to see you are still here.
