I picked out a piece of chryscolla from my dads old stock. Hardness 2.5 - 3.5. The material did like to break apart for no reason. DSC00751 by ngboettch, on Flickr DSC00754 by ngboettch, on Flickr

They were at the Denver show and had a great selection. A little on the pricy side for some stuff and yet I was able to find good deals also..

Finding a great cab in that is going to be tough, but wow.

I want to add in that just having the right name is not all there is to a high end jasper and agate. It has to have a very fine micro crystalline structure. Someone with a better knowledge than myself can explain what that means in more detail.

I remember seeing a lot of stones in the past where they tried to keep the bezel and it really just showcased that the sides were not perfect in relation to each other, where doming tends to hide small differences.

I was showing some stones from my latest tumble and everyone kept commenting about seeing a dog in this piece of crazy lace. DSC00738 by ngboettch, on Flickr

The last time I tried to snipe something was for a saw. The price looked great, but I needed to account for traveling to pick it up. I dropped my bid with 10 seconds to go for several hundred more than the current bid, and was still beat out a couple of seconds later. Was actually surprised because two of us understood what it was really worth and would up the bid by that much with seconds left.
