Rockhounds!
We're moving. Don't know where and still looking for a house we can afford. Until then, we have a lot we don't mind letting go. Looking to sell, or trade for firearm things.

This ad's for our lapidary materials:
Rough, slabs, specimens, spheres, carved skulls, etc.
Obsidian, opal, tiger's eye, agates, jaspers, petrified wood, opalized wood, amazonite, mookaite, fluorite, labradorite, jade, idocrase, and more.

We have pieces from finger sized up to petrified wood weighing around 100lbs. Prices vary from .50 cents per pound to $4 per pound for most of it.

I'll add some pictures soon as i can!

Mike, is the obsidian shaped and finished or raw? I'm into flint knapping and could use some raw materials, but wouldn't want to destroy anything that's already been worked.

Thanks!

Hey Dave.
A bit of both. One day, we'll get into knapping! We have probably...500 pounds or so i'd say, of rough obsidian, from knuckle size to head size or so. Colored sheen, mahogany, silver sheen, banded, a bit of snowflake, and some others. We also have some actual flint and chert, and some mookaite, wonderstone, and others that knap well.

Thanks for the interest, bud!

Let me know if you want to come by and check it all out.

[winterveil]

I am drooling right now. I do want to come check it out! I won't be able to get out to you until this next weekend though. Will y'all still be available?

 

[mikemenzie]

Probably, but no guarantees. We may be packing up some of the specimens and such before then, but we're putting off packing up the rocks and shop stuff as long as we can, so we can try to sell as much as possible before we find a house to try and buy - if we can even find one, that's not crazy money AND in the middle of town, haha.
Shoot me a private message sometime soon, and i'll send ya my number and we can get in touch for dates and such.

Haha, you have no idea. Should see when friends help us move -
"What's in this?!" "That? Oh...that's a box of rocks...no, seriously...seriously, yes..."

 

[mikemenzie]

I'll be in touch. Thanks Mike!

-Dave

Sounds good, bud!

 

[Mikej]

LOL... rock-heads.

"ROCK HOUND" man! NOT "Rock Head". Don't you know nuthin'?

Rock hound from way back here Mike. Dad was into it. We lived in Salt Lake City. Dad's past now but there's still "tons" of stone at the house. I remember carting huge, 100#, chunks of petrified wood on the racks of our Honda 90s off the So. Utah desert around Lake Powell! Geodes, thunder eggs, trilobites out of the West desert.

 

[mikemenzie]

Sounds about right! Haha. Selenite from Nevada, Fluorite from Nevada and Arizona, Garnet and Hematite from California...

 

[Stomper]

Y'all got some SERIOUS rocks in your heads.... LOL!

 

[mikemenzie]

Y'all got some SERIOUS rocks in your heads.... LOL!

...okie doke...

 

[Stomper]

BTW-

By that I mean "rocks on your minds"... my grandpa was a rock-hound and he made absolutely AMAZING jewelry and other things. I'm just using all the "groaner jokes" he used to say about his hobby, and I NEVER get a chance to use those particular ones.

Nothing but respect for y'all!

 

[mikemenzie]

Haha, no worries, bud. I've heard (and used) 'em all. We like to rock and roll around here.
