Stopped by my favorite storage unit sale today. These cabs had been set aside for me last month, as I did not have enough cash on me then. Cost of $1.50 each. They are center drilled. Needing a final polish. Size is about 1/2 between a Quarter and Half Dollar.

Was given the following freebies: A nice matched set of Nautilus. They are just under Quarter size. A faceting quality Carnelian from Utah. A specimen grade Garnet.

Unfortunately, there were no large rough rocks out this time, but I was promised they will be out next month.

I did pick up a small slab I am posting under ID.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

The garnet can be used as grit. Great transaction!

Great score! The cabs look like Cherry Creek Jasper from China. They'll make great focal beads.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

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)
