j2b2 on e=bay sells some tumble rough on occasion. He's in quartzite right now but will be back this spring and may offer up some more when he gets back. The gem shop also has some they are also in Arizona right now but you may be able to get some from them right now by web or calling there store. George

I was not trying to be critical as I seen your other prices and this was much nicer than some of the others that were priced much higher. I love your work and that dose make sense hope it works out for you. George

Hi Jason nice load. I have a Dr. friend that carves and I told him I knew someone in NM. that has alabaster. He has a son that lives in Santa Fe and wants to know where you are so he can come by next time he visits him if its not to far. P.M. me your contact info so I can give it to him so he can line up a buy or a stop in if its possible. George

Very well done its a beauty! How do you justify the price of only $70.00 for something so well done it had to take a while to do and the material had to be most of the cost in the selling price. George

the one looks like a Brazilian agate the colors are not right for a Montana but it may just be the light as the patterns are close. love that blue one its a keeper. George

That should take a nice polish. All I have done takes a high shine, is it porous or pitted. I have no special way I do mine I use the pixie nothing else get a great shine with it. George

That's better looking than the last one I seen from you that I said was the best one I ever seen. That's a great job Chris, shine is just unbelievable and the colors are just amazing. George

One of the best rock shops in the whole world is in Holbrook and that is Jim Gray's as Drocknut said. There are others all around the Holbrook area and if in the area I would hit them all. Quartzite is not in full swing yet but there is one shop that was open all year up by the motel 8 can't recall the name they have a lot of Brazilian material that's where the original owner was from. The Kingman area is great for turquoise a few shops are in the area, if they make it there you must check out Oatman there are many mine's in this area and a really great old west town to visit. If They are near the New Mexico and Arizona border the Zuni Indian reservation is a must they have many shops that sell Old Turquoise its pricey but some you can't get any where else unless you get lucky and find it in an old estate. Jamie's rock pile I hear is a great source I have heard from others on here about her great rocks. George P.M. Me If you want more info. on more in Arizona I have been all over mining and just walking looking for old mining towns. The Bisbee area has a few to along with a great mine tour this area was a world class copper mining area and had some of the greatest druzy copper specimen's ever found, some of the shop's still have a few they are fun to look at but hard to obtain at a good price.

Woody said:I really love the results when you get yourself on a roll I agree with you Wood he is amazing at the "BIG" cabbing art, and his material is always over the top. Very sweet Bobby love the pattern on that one, George

I to agree no harm here he is giving a great price and said come by and check them out if I was closer they would be mine, if they are what he says they are worth way more than he is asking for them. George

Hi Kim thought I would bump this back to the first page and ask how was it going with finding the smaller size in what I wanted. George
