Three deliveries today. Two from ebay and one from fullmoon.
Fullmoon - chatoyant Nellite (combination of Pietersite and tiger eye) and some very nice sagenite.
Ebay - 20 ounce old stock Morgan Hill. Expensive piece with expensive shipping. Seller felt bad about shipping cost and included a free Morgan Hill slab. The cabs from that slab will put a big dent in the purchase price. The large piece has a lot of fractures to work around that don't photograph well. It won't take much to do well on the piece.
Ebay - two inexpensive Blue Biggs. I thought they would yield two cabs from the pictures. I got one of the slabs right and the other one has fractures on both sides and it is tough to lay out a preform in 3d.
