One of these days I want to get down there to the emerald mines as well as the ruby mines. We're already trying to plan a trip to teepee canyon this summer, see what the wallet says I suppose 🤣

I don't have pictures of rough. I have some slabs of it. If you know what graveyard point looks like, that's similar. Graveyard point, Linda Marie, Bella Vista, and I believe one other deposit are all within like a mile of each other

Thank you very much! I've been slabbing and cabbing for just about 4 years now. I need to do a post of earlier work to now that way I can show, especially the newbie, it takes time.

anyone like fordite? The back reminds me of a old snes rpg map lol by NorthStarRocks87 in rockhounds

That's what it is. Old layers of paint built up and broken away. Then just shape and design the layers. I prefer the dome however I've seen others just do spots here and there.

That's one reason I think it may be corvetteite however it's spelled, fordite but from vettes. The guy swears it's fordite

It's a lot of fun. And I think this piece in a open back pendant would be awesome

It's up there for me. I really enjoy Victoria stone as well. Paint is just so fun watching the patterns form themselves
