ROUGH BY THE POUND - JASPER, AGATE, AND MORE

Go to SLAB INDEX, LARGE SLABS, DOLLAR SLABS, FIRST ROUGH PAGE.
The stones on this page are all rough material, for sale by the pound, and most photographed wet. Most of this rough, we did not collect ourselves, but we acquired it both directly and once removed from the individuals that did; and a lot of it was collected somewhere between the 1950's and 1980's. Price includes upgrade to a Medium Priority Flat Rate box for U.S. Because we sell most of our rough through eBay, please contact us for what you are intersted in, and we will work to find you the right assortment. See our Store Policies for full details.

1/2 lb Malachite Pieces

Congo Malachite Rough Pieces by 1/2 Pound

These are irregular slabs, left-over chunks and pieces of Malachite from the Congo, sold by the half pound (1/2 lb). If you want more than one batch, please email us to ensure we have not sold the rest through eBay. The individual we got this material from made custom banister rails, lamp stands, clocks, and other beautiful pieces of furniture. These are pieces sliced off from what he used. Some have a degree of polish on one or both sides, others rough and unpolished. It is also possible there could be epoxy on some. The second and third photos in the slide show are of this batch specifically (your selection will come from this batch, but not necessarily one of the specific pieces shown). The pieces in this batch are mostly over 1" up to about 2" one direction. Some are longer and narrower, a few pieces are very, very thin (just thin sheets like might be useful for intarsia), while others (most) are thicker, some up to 1/2 to 3/4." Patterns vary - some are more plain, some have nice lines, while a few have some really neat patterns. Some pieces have circular cuts to them, possibly where cores were drilled from the full stone, others are mostly flat. Each selection we pull will most likely include some of the circular cut pieces, but it will also have more slab-like pieces as well. Depending on your plans for this material, there could be some waste, but most of it has really nice potential.

Howlite Rough

10 lbs Howlite Rough ($3/lb)

This is 10 lbs of rough nodules and pieces of Howlite from Tick Canyon, California. Howlite is a calcium-silicate mineral. The material makes nice cabs with its spider web patterns, and is also commonly used as good carving material. Though it is naturally white, with and without the black spider-webbing lines, the material is often dyed other colors because it so easily accepts a dye. We've also just recently discovered that at least some of it fluoresces as well! While we have larger pieces, this 10 lb selection will mostly vary between 1" up to 5" pieces. The photos are only an example, not necessarily any of the specific pieces you will get in the box. They are a good representation however. Occassionally there may be a few that have been sliced, though not usually with this batch.

Rhodonite Rough

10 lbs Black with Pink Rhodonite Rough ($4/lb)

This is 10 lbs of rough Rhodonite. We're not sure what location it's from, but we have similar material from several different collections so we think it mostly came from either the Randsburg area or Wrightwood, or slight possibility some may have come from Limekiln Creek (all California). Pieces that we would put in your box range on the average from about 2" up to 5" along one side. A few have been sliced or had an end knocked off so you can get an idea of what it looks like inside, but most are just the rough, uncut pieces, as dug out of the ground - most very black on the outside, some with a little color showing. Price for 10 lbs includes the extra cost for the medium flat rate box.

This is 10 lbs of Petrified Wood (AKA Fossil Wood) rough. This is essentially the same as the listing above, but 10 pounds, and includes larger pieces. We have not sorted out what we know (except the last photo came to us that way), so the material includes a wide variety. Pieces range from about 3 to 4" and larger, with a few a little smaller. The photos are only an example, but not necessarily any of the specific pieces you will get in the box. They are a good representation however.

Wileys Well Geodes

10 lbs Wileys Well Geode/Thunderegg Nodules ($3/lb)

Offered here is a 10 lb batch of Wileys Well Geode/Thunderegg nodules, from near Blythe, CA, not far from Quartzite, AZ. The area is detailed in the popular rock-hounding books, "Gem Trails in California" by A.L. Abbott and "Desert Gem Trails" by Mary Frances Strong. Pieces are mostly small 1" nodules up to 5-6" (and larger as well). Most of these nodules are uncut pieces, as dug out of the ground, though occassionally a sliced one, or a stone from a different location, might have gotten mixed in with this batch, but we believe that is rare. With rough material, we are never be certain that it will have patterns or crystals in it at all, but from what we can tell, most of this material is well worth cutting to find beauty inside, and each piece is unique!
