Full paid membership in the New 49ers for Sale. New costs 3,500 on payments or 2,625 CASH. I will sell you mine for only $1,500. I just do not have time to mine gold too. They made a good stike of highgrade gold on the Rouge River in Oregon this year. California is still playing lawsuits with peoples lives and has shut the dredgers out of their lawful claims. I guess California doesn't need any mining money to spend.
Conk : Cabs Slabs and beads.
 Retail prices.
NEVADA FULGARITES Lightning bolt casts of what appears to be pumice fused. It does not present a glassy appearance. Specimens for $1 and up to $35 each. New site never before found and these are in very limited quantities. I alone mine these for sale.
Arizona Fulgarites also can be found and purchased here also. Singles from $5 and the only remaining flat of larger unwashed "fancies" is available for $500 net. These have fine hairs from the coriolis forces. No one is mining these any more.
NEVADA Obsidian Flow glass. These look like small tektites, obsidian flow glass is small pieces that have eroded out and show flow lines. They are dark green in color and small. The largest are not 1 inch by 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch. I have them at 25 of various under 1/2 inch sizes for $5 includeing S&H. None are of faceting size.
TUFAs The tufa blooms I select are prime face rocks, hearts, or pretty ones not just big beehives. $5 for well made "roses" and larger than your two fists to $50 for the 25lb laughing head that really is a show piece for any yard.
 Smokey Quartz in facet grades from Idaho.
This huge Double Terminated Smoky Quartz on the scanner to try and show it's clarity. This is a real special faceting grade crystal that has not been acid cleaned and it is totally unbonked. $5,000. There are many other nice gem clean crystals in the lot I received. Some top grade facet, some nice crystal points, and shards. Some have chlorite inclusions for a Absinth like green glow to the faceted stones.
MINERALS
 Zincite crystals are $5 each
Fulgarites $10
I have one flat of the rare La Paz Co material left. These are the fancies with the "hairs" intact. Very fragile and uncommon. I alone apparently also offer Nevada collected material formed by lightning.
I've also helped our friend Mike Metcalf mine some of his outstanding Graveyard Point Plume Agate and have some cutting rough available. $10 a pound for Jellybean Jasper and $15 a pound for North Point Plume. These are choice pieces of the best grade material. These are really miners choices and I can't keystone to dealers on this. Slabs available at shows. M2Stone is out of business due to a major buyer not paying, can you say Mafia affects all our lives?
Swordfish mining also offer a limited selection of other hand picked Nevada, Oregon, California, and Idaho cutting materials.
 Hot orange Angel wing Agate is more than just plume cutting rough; 20$ a pound from

Ten pound DT Smoky.
Exclusively selling some crystals I mined on a remote outcrop in the Black Rock Desert. They are unusually cute multiple Double terminator clusters under 3 inches and have a black manganese coating. Elestials if I had to label them. Both right and left handed habit;. uncleaned. The manganese coating is a flat black color and gives these crystals a different calming appeal to the meta-physical user. These strange crystals can beto added to your collection for $5 & postage for an over 2" specimen with multiple points. No pounds are available. Almost all are DT twin clusters.
