Cabbing Rough and Slabs
Many of the names are varietal and do not indicate the actual
mineralogical composition
of the material. Looking for Finished Cabs? - Please see our cabochons section
If there's anything you're looking for, please contact us. We have some slabs of interesting Franklin / Ogdensburg (NJ) material not shown on here.
Lapidary slabs are typically photographed wet, because the rough surface does not show the color well. The wet appearance simulates what it will look like with a good polish.
Assorted pieces - Lapidary bulk assortment including Quartz ("rock crystal"), Agate, Unakite, Obsidian, Jasper, Crazy Lace (?), and a couple of small pieces of Rhodochrosite. Almost 17 lbs of cabbing / slabbing / tumbling rough in all!
Some of the pieces (e.g., the crazy lace) are a bit oddly-shaped and would be expected to yield smaller cabs. You should be able to get at least one usable cutting out of each piece in this lot, with some pieces yielding considerably more.
Recommended shipping method: USPS Flat Rate box ($10.75, USA only). Nothing else will fit in the box. If you want to order anything else in the same order, please contact us and we can send you a Paypal invoice with all shipping calculated.
Pieces were photographed WET. Each picture shows different pieces. Lot includes contents of both photos (except for tray).
#L575 ... $30.00 for the lot
Assorted - pieces and slabs - several thick chunks should yield a few slabs and/or cabochons. The largest chunk is Petrified Wood (upper LH corner). The green material in the center has nice coloration. There is a chunk of what appears to be sodalite (upper right hand corner) here. Also contains a few slab odds and ends.
Some of the pieces are a bit oddly-shaped and might give only one or two decent cabs; however, you should be able to get something out of just about every piece in this lot. Other pieces should yield more cabs.
Lot was photographed WET. Total weight is a little over 14 lbs. This lot will ship in a USPS Priority Flat Rate box. Nothing else will fit in the box.
We don't have individual measurements for the pieces. Typical size about 3" across largest dimension. They're sealed in the box and ready to ship.
#L574 .... $30.00 for the lot.
Assorted - slab odds & ends - includes a nice chunk of Tiger Eye. Also note the triangular slab of green and white stone, quite nice as well. Lot should yield several nice cabochons; the smaller pieces when cut will be good for tumbled stone. Lot was photographed WET. Tray not included.
There are five or six slabs in here which should together be worth the price of the whole lot.
Ship. wt. 7 lbs.
