Happy 2015!

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 31st Dec 2014

I want to thank you all for following the progression of Rock n Spheres in 2014.  Being a new company, I thought it might take longer to develop a following.  I am thankful to you all!

December ended with my largest on line sales.   The Fire Mountain Jasper Spheres were very hot along with the Desert Storm / Wave Dolomite Spheres.  It was an astonishing score on both points.  We ended the month with a whirlwind 1 day trip to Quartzsite to see some of our favorite vendors.  It was cold for LA standards but we were equipped to brave it.  

Am looking forward to cutting my new material.  Had not seen Snakeskin Agate available in boulders for years.  Have a large piece of that in the 24" saw now.  Looks very promising.  New out of Australia is Opalized serpentine and Dragon Stone which is Chrome infused Mica or fuchsitic chert.  Will keep me busy for months to come.

The following 3 months will be very busy.  We have 1 show each month.  January 9 though the 11 th is the Flagg show at the Mesa Community College.  We follow that with 1 week in Tucson to look for new and interesting material.  2/21 and 22 is the  Apache Junction Gem and Mineral Show in Mesa AZ.  3/7 & 8 brings us back to the LA area for the Monrovia show at the Los Angeles Arboretum.  It will be challenging to get sphere making in along with working full time.

Once again, Happy New Year!
