How about anouther Nevada rock
This is a price of quartz crystal with actinolite needles it comes from the Hunny crystal mine about an hour away. A fried of mine owns two of the claims. The needles are green it's hard to tell in the picture
Jhon I am a huge fan of rutilated and I love that Quartz piece with the Actinolite needles.  I find some great stuff in that part of NV when I make it up there but never Quartz like that.  If he sells any I would love to get a slice or 2.  I will post a separate topic with the Material I dig in Coaldale.

Great thanks!  I have found the same enjoyment of sharing the wealth so to speak.  It makes people happy which is cool, better than sitting in a tote or bucket I think.

I don't remember all of what I put in that box, I don't think I put any jade in but I may have I was trying to make use of the flat rate and fill it up.
The Nevada Lapis was a mine that they sent tons of rock to china. There is still a lot there but is hard to get to, a long steep walk or an ATV. Glue it to a 2x4  and slab it up I thing you will like the cabs it makes.
 I think that you may need an intervention. you got pretty excited over a box of rocks, some people would saw you have a problem and may need some help! addiction .ROCKAHOLIC
