zarguy I think this is the thread you may be referring to, posted by Txrockhunter; forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/78309/singleton-ranch-marfa-txI spent 3 days on the Singleton Ranch in March 2017, two days with Txrockhunter. It was just about the best collecting I had ever done in my life. Was planning on going back but it was not to be. No options at this time. Waiting to see what Teri Smith has on her Fall schedule(if she is doing trips). There are other Ranches south of Marfa that have Bouquet, just have to hope that one becomes available. Henry I meant to mention this earlier... Excellent showing of Singleton material in your linked post. I read back through it and noted that someone asked about making doublets or stabilizing the plumes for cabbing. I have cabbed quite a few Singleton nodules and most are seen just as they are. A few have been given a coating of hot stuff red or starbond glue before the 220 hard or 280 soft wheels, but that's it. The one in this post has a a couple pits where the dark spots are and a couple more tiny pits at the ends of the yellow moss structures but the white plumes are fully embedded. I like my cabs natural if possible.
