[QUOTE="Rivarat, post: 261909, member: 5745"] I have just bought an old collection from a friends father, sight unseen, not alot of money so I thought it was worth the risk. He was into tumbling in the 1960's and I believe was a member of the Wangaratta lapidary club, but it all got packed up and not looked at since he moved in the early 1970's. All this time it has just sat in drums at the back of his shed. Just the first bag of pieces I'll be getting more on Tuesday. They are a bit rust stained and I haven't taken photos of the many agates, jaspers or pet wood rough. Most of these are not local to me so I don't know much about them. But as I intend cutting them I would like to know what type of some and location if someone knows/reccognises any. Row 2 2nd photo opalite Row3 2nd photo chrsyoprase on the right green jasper? on the left Row 4 far right very glass like obsidian I think and banded iron next to it.
