- General DiscussionI fell in love with Meeko's agate mix. Beautiful pre-cut rough that produces amazing polished rocks. The description says it's a combination of Malawi, Montana and Brazil agates. The Montana agates are pretty easy to identify. Are there differentiating features between the Malawi and Brazil agates? Many of the agates tend toward brown, tan and cream coloration and others more toward blue, white and cream. I'd like to be able to identify them by origin (because I do stuff like that). Great agate rough regardless.
- General DiscussionA photo-savvy buddy of mine took some macro shots of a few of my Serape Jasper tumbles, and I figured I’d share a couple of them with y’all here. It’s easy to get lost in the visual richness and intricate detail of this gorgeous material. All the more so when it tumbles up so nicely thanks to Clay’s judicious use of a rock saw. Seriously, I feel spoiled now—why buy premium-priced crushed rock that you’ll spend weeks grinding halfway to dust eliminating pits and divots when you can just get some nicely hand-cut stuff that has fewer imperfections and breezes through the tumbling stages in a fraction of the time? Thanks, Clay!
- General DiscussionI had a little Black Friday spending spree on Fossick and ah hem, other sites. This was something I hadn't seen before and couldn't resist. Turkish stick agate.
