Headed off to our local rock show and bought a few things.....If you keep your eyes open,you can find some good buys... Most of the prices there are through the roof!!!! I'm glad I know private sellers now...LOL Bought a nice Amethyst for my wife... Bough a nice rough of Obsidian Rainbow (Cali rough) (James and I went halves on it)...The guy must have thought we were off our rocker,we had flashlight and water working that stone over-it passed the test.. I'm not much on "Blue Holly" agate,but this one was worth scarfin' up...... Scored some "Polka Dot" agate,already tumbled... Picked up a handful of small thundereggs to fill the sack...LOL Always grab a few bags of gold concentrate.... Snagged some opal from Australia,forgot the name of it though...( I will remember later) LOL Won this on the "silent auction" there at the show.....The last few times I was at the show or other shows-someone was always watching the rocks they bid on and bidding their name as soon as you left! I seen it,wanted it and run the bid high!!! I got it!!! Its some type of Opal with a crystal formation.....I like it.....

You scored some pretty stuff, really like the opal. No fossils?

I find and hound my own fossils,in Montana and the Oregon coastline (thumbs up) and I refuse to my any Moroccan fossils..(they flooded the market with their stuff).... Headed to Montana this summer,will fossil hunt for ammonites and baculites..

I was going to drop some cash on a beautiful piece of "Biggs" Jasper,but wanted to spread my money with more buys,rather than one!!!! LOL It was a nice 7 pounder,but they thought is was made of gold......
