\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nBullseye Agate,\u00a0from Goldfield,\u00a0 Nevada it actually is more Chert and Rhyolite and has a little bit of a kaolin look to it. Freshly collected material or at the bottom of the pile material tends to be more yellow unless oxidized or given some heat treatment —\u00a0 if I remember right it heat treats at a low temp, I think around 425, which is easy to do in a fire pit. These are rough stones and have some fractures, but they do cut into nice slabs for cabochon and jewelry work.\u00a0 One large rock (at least 10 pounds) would make great slabs. One usage I had not thought of was for knife blade handles. This would be an incredible stone for that purpose. I would apply a resin to seal and if there are flaws they can be sealed by Zap-a Dap.<\/p>\n

The sizes range from one pound rocks to one ten pounder. The best shipping would be in flat rate boxes.\u00a0 All my rocks can be combined.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nHOWLITE Nodule-\u00a0Turquoise Impostor<\/strong>
\nSoft white bumpy aggregations. Scratches with Obsidian (glass)\u00a0 but not with a copper penny. Mohs 5?<\/strong>
\nThis Howlite was collected on the West coast, most likely Ticks Canyon, CA. Howlite is usually dyed because white howlite receives \u00a0little attention in the marketplace. Most people think that it is boring. However, when it is dyed to a brilliant or pastel blue, green, red, yellow, or purple it catches people\u2019s eyes. Hence the name “Turquoise Imposter.”\u00a0 Cut, with a face on the bottom it makes an interesting book weight.\u00a0Sliced into cabs they make an interesting item.\u00a0 I have some listed under SLABS.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nMahogany Obsidian\u00a0I have an enormous collection of obsidian. The best way to ship rocks is with USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box (11″ x 8.5″ x 5.5\u201d) Some are of lapidary quality and can be used for napping, cabbing or any other lapidary purpose.\u00a0 If napping is your priority let me know and I will select accordingly. I have Mahogany, Jet Black, some Sheen and other Oregon obsidians. If you need larger pieces, I can send you some with the large flat rate box. <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nTurtle rock. The matrix is a sandstone or mudstone 3.5 to 4 hardness and polish better than one would expect.\u00a0 The spots are more than likely a type of feldspar.\u00a0 The lumps are 5.5 to 6 hardness.\u00a0 The two varied materials will polish differently as well. These “stone turtles” evolved from the northern shores of the Olympic Peninsula in WA state. Even with polishing there is an inherent matte finish to these stones but covering them with a lacquer finish works quite nicely. Trying to tumble or using a grinding wheel will wear away their intriguing “bumps and contours.” If slabbed for cabochons they certainly can be worked the normal way and make surprisingly nice jewelry.<\/p>\n

The matrix may upon occasion be naturally darker, even brown and the inclusions can sometimes be yellow instead of white. As they are one in a thousand, I will not be selling any of those. \u00a0“Turtle Rock” is Variolite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nThese\u00a0Nipoma-like Agate<\/strong>\u00a0nodules are a collector\u2019s dream. Most are small in the quarter pound range or less. They are one of the rarest and most coveted of all\u00a0sagenite agates!!! As they are the remains of one of our rock club members now passed on, I do not know where they are collected – but they are much sought after and often sell for 25.00 a pound<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nPetrified Wood \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I have a large collection of Oregon or Washington collected material. As the picture shows they range from fifteen pounds to about 1 lb. Some smaller pieces for the rock id tray are also available. I am presently cutting one\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>large slab<\/a>.<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
