For some reason I happened across this beautiful very active site and have read and admired many pages of great info and pictures. I have been a avid collector for maybe 50 years and cut several thousand stones and still learning. I have been to maybe a hundred collecting areas and have amass maybe three ton of great rock. I sold 500 pounds of slabs on eBay last summer and still have maybe two hundred pounds to chose from. I am at least 50 years behind on sawing and cabbing and still looking for that really great one. We split our time in Yuma AZ and Montesano WA. I look forward to contributing here.
