AGATE:
Bullseye
Agate,
From
Goldfield
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 -- 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 are have some fractures but
they do cut into nice slabs for cabachon and jewelry work.
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 I am cutting these at the moment and the sizes run from small 2 1/2 inch pieces to a few larger. They will be 10.00 a pound. Two larger slabs or 4-6 smaller ones. I can also cut one piece thick for driftwood mounting. |
| Howelite
Nodule- Turquoise Impostor Soft white bumpy aggregations. Scratches with Obsidian (glass) but not with a copper penny. Mohs 5? This Howlite was was collected on the West coast, most likely Ticks Canyon, CA. Howlite is usually dyed because white howlite receives very little 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’s eyes. Hence the name "Turquoise Imposter." |
| Mahogany Obsidian I have a large 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") Some are of lapidary quality and can be used for knapping, cabbing or any other lapidary purpose. If knapping is your priority let me know and I will select accordingly. I have Mahogany, Jet Black, some Sheen and other Oregon obsidian. Prices will vary. | |
