That is gorgeous! I think you should seriously consider backing that stone. Be really cool backed by a piece of old fashioned bloodstone!

As I remember it from looong ago, Laguna agate and Laguna lace Agate are two different beasts. Laguna Lace was just called Mexicfan Crazy Lace back in the '60s and '70s. The more red the better! There was also some material that had charcoal grey/black bands.

From what I've seen at the shows I'd put it in the $50 to $60 range.

Greetings All! I'm looking for some jelly opal in matrix to put out at the rock shows for the kids and the wild-eyed crystal wavers. If anybody has some for sale or trade, please shoot me a PM with what y'all have available! Thanx in advance! Geezer (AKA Evil Ed)

Chocolate is overrated. why are there no holidays where the gifting of King Crab is a tradition? I'd love to hit up the after holiday specials for that when all the king crab goes on sale 50-90% off... Because chocolate releases dopamine to the brain. Crab and butter release cholesterol to the arteries!

No problem in our house. She helped me set up the business side (She used to be a Lawyer), Helps out at the shows, and even forks over the cash when I buy rocks and equipment (She carries the checkbook and cash- My idea!)
Life is good.........

You have got to try the Estes "F" engines! A LOT like the old FSI engines. Estes even makes "F" engines with zero delay for boosters!
I REALLY miss the old FSI F-100 series. Two ounces of cored black powder grain burning in 0.5 seconds!
The f-7 FSI engines were end burning engines. Two ounces of black powder burning over 6 seconds...... We use to call them "steam engines".

I took this picture of a friend firing a medium sized rocket that I built from an Estes Kit. Also made the Launch control system and the stove pipe launcher too. Probably made 100 rockets and launched 1000 times, still have a coupla boxes of rocket parts for custom rockets. Scanned negative Still got boxes of body tubes in storage, plus enough engines on hand to start W.W.III! Got my other nickname of "Evil Ed" as a vendor at launch sites. Parents would show up with their kids and want to buy parts to build a rocket. I'd refuse to sell them parts unless they had some experience building rockets. I didn't want them going home not knowing how everything fit together, getting discouraged, and never giving it a fair try. I always recommend to newbies to buy a couple kits from Hobby Lobby (use the 40% off coupon you can get online!), build 'em, then see me later for parts. I then ask the kids if they want to fly one of my rockets (never had a kid say "no"). I let them choose the one they want to fly, give them the motor, then talk them through the prep (if parents reach over to help, I have been known to swat their hands and say "let them do it!") the kids then fill out their own flight card, take the rocket through inspection by the Range Safety Officer, then set it up on the launcher- the short kids usually need some help.... . The clubs usually let the kids push the LAUNCH button themselves.... then THEY get to chase and retrieve the rocket! When they bring it back I give them their first rocket kit for free! The other dealers started calling me "Evil Ed" because I was like the corner drug dealer.... "first one's free"......

I'll stick to high-power rocketry. When you reach level II in the Tripoli Rocketry Association you can make your own propellant grains for your re-loadable engines! Ahhhhh... But can you safely return them to launch pad and land them? Well.... we still have to go after them. To guide one coming down is still a no-no according to Uncle Sam. Sounds too much like putting a "payload" on a "target".... I have thought it would be neat to include a small "rover" with GPS and a video camera. Deploy the rover after landing, and have it drag the rocket back to the launch pad.

Dang! Had to get out the ice pick and chip the neighbors dog loose from my hubcap this morning! Li'l devil didn't learn. Didn't notice he switched to the passenger-side hubcap. Took him for a spin this morning!
