With 2 more days left in Tucson, We just couldn't wait any longer.  We are now on our way home.  

Our eldest joined us on Monday.   Some how that affected the direction that our remaining purchases took.  Heavily based on market research, we are now owners of very expensive boulders that Alan and I would never have considered.  I think this is no longer a hobby business.  

The issues now will be what to cut first.  The "boys" have decided it should be the boulder of Rhodocrosite.  I am okay with this because it means they will have to clean the 24" saw first.  It is a bugger to clean and usually would take me a full day.  They have much longer arms which will be helpful.  They won't have to crawl into it to get all the sludge out.  Maybe I can bribe them to clean all 3.

The other saws will be a toss up.  There is the beautiful material from Morenci Mine or Rays mine in Arizona.  The blues in these pieces are spectacular.  The Blue Calcite from Argentina also has a large draw.  Decisions!

Socoro, New Mexico Amphielobe Diabase will cover some of my green desires.  There is also the 7 colored Fluorite from Argentina.  Hard to decide which way to go.

For bling factor there is the African Tiger Eye.  The bands of blue and gold tiger eye is beautiful.  This will make some eye popping spheres.  

I've got the black and white covered with Zebra Quartz (Australia) and Pinolth (Austria).  So many choices.
