Red Jasper and Hematite closed for now.

[amyk]

I got a lot of interest in this stuff. I got more orders than I have rocks for now. I will go get more in a few weeks and let you know.

Thanks everyone.

I went hunting yesterday. I caught some Red Jasper and Hematite stuff. They were numerous and slow moving so I caught a bunch.

Anyone want some? I haven't got a price yet but am looking for anyone interested.









These photos were taken in the shade while wet. This is the real colors of the rocks.

The larger ones outside the box are dry, don't seem to be striped, more mottled, and more hematite per Jasper ratio. I think, never know til they get cut open.

Anyone interested?

that looks like some neat rock!
how does it cab and polish up?

[amyk]

I have cabbed this stuff before. It polishes up real nice. I will cut some of this soon and post pictures of it.

Here is one I did a long time ago. Not from this batch of rock obviously. This new batch has a brighter red in it.

Awesome find Amy! I'm sure this is just as good as the stuff I've got that's from Upper Michigan. It's fun to work. Not too hard, but takes a great polish. Really messy though, so be prepared for that.

Here's a couple of cabs I cut from the stuff I have.

Edit: I see you posted while I was typing, Amy. Looks like the hematite in your rock is a bit more specular than mine. I like how it sparkles!

I would like some of them, that I could tumble. Let me know on a price.

[tandl]

[Toad]

Would love some, but no room.

[rons]

I'll take some when you get a $$ figured

I will take some too, when you get your pricing figured out

I need chunks to fit cutting on a 10" saw

[Hard Rock Cafe]

That'll turn your saw oil red! Pretty, though!

I cut and cabbed some of this today. On my trim saw, it turned the water red. Looked like I was bleeding all over. LOL

Here is the results.



The one on the left I cut with the stripes and the other I cut acoss the stripes. Two different stones, that is why one is a different shade of red. Nice effect either way. I was in a hurry or I could have gotten a better shine than this.

As far as pricing goes,

tumbling size = $10.00 for a small FRB + shipping.

Otherwise $2.00 a pound + shipping $10.95 for med FRB.

PM me if you want some.

I am not familiar with the size of a flat rate box, is that a few slabs?

[amyk]

I am not selling slabs, just the rough stuff. but yes a small FRB will hold several slabs.

Amy didn't mention it, but this material makes beautiful spheres. Here is a sphere I had made from this material many years ago:




I have very little of this material left that I've kept back for my own cabs, but I always enjoy working it and it always gets attention.

My photo is bad with that huge reflection in it, but you get the idea. I don't remember what I sold it for back in the day, but it was way more than $2 a pound, so Amy is offering a great price!

[amyk]

I slabbed this stff yesterday. Now my 14" saw looks like I filled it with grape juice. LOL. Very pretty color oil.

[FrogAndBearCreations]

Got my box today!
