Received this is email several days ago. I should have posted it sooner!
Rock Sale: Quality Lapidary Materials - October 19th and 20th in Northridge.
The rock sale starts the same day as the Woodland Hills Rock Chippers Show.
We are located about 20 minutes from the Rock Chippers Show and will open 2 hours after them at 12:00 noon, so you can visit and be early for both in one day on Saturday.
We will be open from 9am on Sunday as well.
The collection features a vast variety of great quality agates and jaspers from locations worldwide. Most specimens are not polished but do have a cut face.
Most of the material has been purchased / cherry-picked from Quartzite, Tucson, and directly from the miners over the years.
There is not one single type of material that is overly plentiful, but there is a great variety of rare and unusual agates and jaspers.
Prices will be very reasonable, starting at $1 per pound.
