Thank you jasoninsd Jason - that's a great way of looking at it. I tend to sell myself short so I appreciate that perspective!! (by the way - how the heck does one only reply to the section of grouped replies intended for them? Like rockbrain did...) thx

I didn't even know what that was for. I just remember the last time I tried deleting and ended up commenting as Tommy ha! Ok - thanks. I'll try that next time.

“the contestant may use rocks hounded from someone's garden/yard sale etc.”
Does that mean I can go pick some out of my garden 🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding, just kidding. I’m still going through some of my stuff. Hopefully have a decision soon.

victor1941 Very pretty Victor! I’ve never heard of or seen that material before.👍 Do you remember the trip that you collected it on? That’s one thing about self collecting, I can actually remember the day when I look at certain rocks. But purchased rough and slabs I often don’t even remember who I bought from.

Khara, July 16-Rosebud agate from NM discusses this material. Khara, I absolutely do remember the trip but don't remember the specific roadmap directions to the ranch. I was the driver and my wife was the navigator. We were on what I assume were ranch to market roads that were scraped but in good shape unless wet.

Nice one Victor. Cool material.
I have no clue how you guys remember dates you collected rocks. I was out a few weeks ago and can’t remember the date unless I look back on a calendar

Winner of this contest gets 4 slabs of the plume I’ve been digging. Two 1/4” slabs for regular cabochons and two 1/8” slabs for doublets. In the event I win, slabs go to second place.
I’ll reach out to the winner after the contest ends and arrange shipment.

LOL *That's a really cool offering!! Those slabs along with the box of rocks from goldfinder makes a pretty big "winner's pot"!!

See if I can’t pull something out of my ass that will change the world and break the physics of lapidary as we know it 😂

I already thought it'll be a tough competition this month but a few slabs of that killer plume will definitely raise the stakes!
