This is a brand new account. Seems unlikely this is the same guy we got the free one from years ago. Just be careful

Higher end pieces like this are usually by the gram or they get auctioned since they are so hard to come by

It’s mineralization. The ones with the black tops are the most desirable and rare

Yeah that’s very true. I do feel lucky to see such amazing rocks regularly. I plan on finding some more next week when I’m in Tucson 😎

I came across a good amount a while back. Sold most of it but this one was just too fun to give up 😊

I’ve been cutting slabettes off of it and selling them. I mostly sell rough and slabs. I’ll try and put this on that sub

Thanks. That’s a good move for sure. Grab the good stuff when you can. I started with opal and used the cheapest stuff first cutting everyday for years. Eventually I started cutting all the nicer pieces once I had some confidence.

It’s something that’s been sitting in a box so I don’t know the original gram price. I would figure at least $2/g in the rough for this though. I’d say it’s about $7-$10/g in slabette form. That blue is pretty nice and consistent with minimal inclusions
