Recently I purchased a SFRB of slabs and they came in the mail today. They're fantastic, a nice mix of stone that I haven't had a chance to work with yet. And I can't wait to get started on them! 
Thanks, Gary!

Great box. Love the I Can't Think of it Now. Also the Messy notation. Gary is great. It really is. He identified it after he sent it- East Java Plume Agate.
He is great. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ever received from anyone here on RTH.

Wow! Nice ones. I'd tell you to have fun, but that probably isn't necessary.

opalpyrexia would you consider that Magnesite Wild Horse?
Very cool selection, Mike! You're going to get a lot of nice cabs out of that material.

I don't know, Robin. I've never worked with Wild Horse and this slab had stronger, bolder patterns than I've come to associate with it. So when the seller called it simply magnesite I went with it. But the colors are right.

That Gary Green and the pet wood are giving me some serious envy! Can't wait to see what you do with these beauties. What are the two slabs without labels (besides gorgeous)?

Doesn't look like wild horse. I have some yellow that could be it's twin.its in one of those buckets. Wild horse is brown with white billowy clouds.

Gary said that the lavender one is Yttrium Fluorite and I'm not 100% on the other but I'm going to say it's Wild Horse Picture Jasper- at least that's my guess. |

After doing some googling that's what I was figuring. Glad my ID skills are getting a bit better. |
