Welcome To The Rock and Swap Talk Shop...This is my favorite part of rockhounding. It is time honored for rockhounders to get together talk shop and trade rocks.
Of the tons of rock I have, I will trade any of them, just bring some rocks and an empty 5 gal. bucket and go for it!!!I want to promote the "Hobby," aspect of rockhounding as I see it is getting to comercialized as more and more old timers pass on.Seems like the good ones die leaving the ole scammers that try and fit into the mold of these old timers-NOT!!! Be aware, if they won't guarantee their rocks-don't buy from them.....The comercialization of rockhounding is becoming all to evident at rock shows and online. I have attended some shows in the past though that I was impressed with. There was a stand where some folks were giving free polished rocks to kids. If you set up stand, set something up for the kids.
As time progresses more and more of the old rockhounding sites are getting shut down. The BLM and National Forest have faced many hurdles in the questions of rockhounding. Before digging any holes on Public Grounds be sure and find out what restrictions there may be...If you dig a hole---Please take the time to fill the hole in when your done.
I usually trade wholesale to wholesale, depending on grade of course. My biggest supply of trading material is Biggs Picture Jasper, including Old Biggs, Deschutes Jasper, some Blue Biggs, see above, and Black Biggs Jasper,Owyhee and Wildhorse Picture Jasper and Agate Thunder Eggs.
My biggest wants are Dryheads Bruneau,Morrisonite, Imperial Jasper, Gem Silica rough, Lapis, Mexican and Spencer Opal, Fire Agate, Ocean Jasper, Holley Blue Agate, just to name a few.
If your in need of lapidary equipment just drop me a line. If I don't have it I can try to get it.
