I will not be able to make it that far west over the timeframe you are going to be in town, BUT I would be interested in some of the chalcedony and jasper! If you have a fair amount on hand how about a flat rate box trade? I have been doing that with member sof this group and a rock tumbling group and everyone seems happy so far. If you are flying in through Charlotte we might be able to work something out face to face then also.

Thanks for the interest and response, Doug and DigDug in trading. I am flying into Asheville late Monday so won't be able to connect with Doug. I am having problems posting photos on the internet or would send you photos of chalcedony, jasper and obsidian. The jasper and petrified wood tumble very nicely, I am just finishing a batch this week. The chalcedony has a lot of pits and does not tumble as well, but they are interesting. The obsidian is in shards (flakes) and small chunks. The wood has a lot of red with some gray and brown and polishes brightly. My cell number is 760-424-6282 if you want to reach me here or in Waynesville. Doug, maybe later we could trade flats via UPS when I can send you some photos. DigDug, please give me a call or respond here if you want to meet in Waynesville for some trading. John
