Tucson Here We Come!
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 24th Jan 2017
We are off in the morning to Tucson. I feel like I haven't been home since the holidays. Tomorrow we will stop in Phoenix and pick up the trailer. A big THANK YOU to Bill for moving it to their house from Quartzsite. It saved us considerable time driving back and forth.
I have my wish list prepared. Amazonite, Turkish stick agate to name a few. will also be on the lookout for anything new and unusual. Being I did so much shopping in Quartzsite, I so not feel a burning urge to show for rough. I believe I have sufficient types of rocks to keep me busy for the entire year.
I couldn't resist to start on the Dead Camel Jasper. The piece I picked has a large amount of blue on the 2 sides I cut today. The other saws were cutting slabs of material I sold out of at the Pow Wow. Next show is a slab show and will be here before I know it.
I have also managed to wash all the spheres that I had taken. What a mess. All the spheres are nice and clean, their liners washed and also the travel boxes. The slabs will be a much larger undertaking and will have to wait until I get back.
No sphering today. :-(
Thanks for reading
