Gorgeous stuff, all of them wonderful. So, is it true to say Petoskey stone is fossilized coral, but all fossilized corals are not Petoskey stones? Haven't seen much of this stuff, is it tough to work with? Would seem like it would almost..um...undercut?

I think I am slowly getting better at this. And certainly being the "great stone plagiarist" that I am, incorporating some of your design ideas has helped a ton! ;-) Bill

Hi Jackie,

I purchased the coral as a slab off an ebay seller. Ebay has a fair amount of listings for this stuff.

The Owyhee I purchased as a rough rock, then slabbed it myself. This again was from and ebay seller some time earlier this year (I still have slabs left from that one).

I purchased the Fancy Jasper as a slab from one of my favorite lapidary guys... Dave at High Desert Lapidary. He has been real helpful, and his selection is very good. You can check out his web site here - www.highdesertlapidary.com/servlet/StoreFront or through his ebay store here - stores.ebay.com/High-Desert-Deals?_rdc=1

Regards,
Bill

The Owyhee is gorgeous, as is the Fancy jasper. Beautiful stones and wonderful wraps.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
