Excitement Mounting
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 16th Sep 2016
One of the things of being a good customer is that dealers of rough rock look for things that might interest me. Point in case..... the Denver Show is going on and my dealer friend from Joshua Tree notified me of some amazing looking Bumble Bee. I have a 72 pound piece set aside for me to pick up this week.
This is the same dealer that spent a month in Mexico helping a miner find new material. Well, the shipment of black and gold plume agate that he just received as payment for the help looks orgasmic! He has set aside 200 pounds of material that I will get to go through first. I can't wait until Tuesday! I will be leaving the nay sayer behind. He must work since being fired as the handyman. I will give him one more chance to fix my saws this weekend tho.
It has been quiet with out saws running. I have an "Idon'tknowwhatitisite" that has the smallest of flat spots yet, a Mexican Crazy Lace of old stock that I must of bought years ago grinding away. There is a Fantasy Jasper waiting for a sphere machine spot, a Noble Serpentine from Washington that is also waiting. This is very different from the other spheres that I have made in that there is a significant amount of white is it. At least this one should round up quickly. Once these are finished there will be a decided lull.
Have a good weekend and thanks for reading......
