I'm trying to read that AZ bill information about the AZ Mining and Mineral Museum closing that was a real shame I went there often there often and took their lapidary classes what a confusing mess Phoenix legislators made a real mess of this leave the rocks where they laid and were displayed damn flaggmineralfoundation.org/home/current-events/az-mm-museum/

Being that the Az. Mining and Mineral Museum was mentioned previously I thought I take a ride over there & check out the vacant building. Never know what you might find … Here a little something...

Thanks Rick! Wish you were closer we could rock the Flagg show! and I wish some of the other local RTHlings could come by. Never know when its the last mohshow... o and one last shot this might be slag or it may have fell from the sky at the AZ Mining Museum you may not know for sure whatever it is its fairly good size chunk...

Funny, I just threw a bunch of slag in the tumbler for the hell of it. Curious to see the outcome.

interesting experiment some of that slag is pretty solid stuff other is crumbly
may be pretty resistant to shine but it may smooth

At the Flagg I talk to a lot of Phoenician About my LadMo Bag
And many others who had no clue
I was recommending RTH It is always surprising to me how many people who rock Have never heard of our wonderful forum
They have now ha ha
To Paula. Sarah, Dr. Jeff , the peridot dude and others I said I would post this for them Maybe some new blood stones will join
Hope so!
I promised the video where Ladmo was trying to get across enemy lines to get early morning coffee For General Wallace
maybe you tube brought it down but as all know the mohs google searching is technologically challenged...
mostly

Good lookin' booth setup in your photo, Mohs. Good thing there's someone sittin' there to keep those other two in line... .
We're going to meet other friends - who just moved here - at the club meeting this morning, or we'd come down to visit.
