What a gorgeous specimen of rare red botryoidal flourite!

Aren't I worth that to somebody?? ?? ?? ?  
biggrin.gif
 OK...don't answer that.  lol

One can only dream...  *sigh*

What do you do with it? Is the expensive part the red stuff bubbling in the middle a rare gem for making jewlery?

and no, I haven't got $400 for a rock, it just cost me $1100 to put my cat to sleep on the 4th of july.

Oh that IS cool! I happen to be a fan of things like amethysts and agates and and geodes (oh my!). Now if they just move the decimal over to the left a couple few notches, I can handle that! Can I interest you in a small, rosetted Drosera instead (or a little "crow" or "humble pie")? (Weather)

Josh, really sorry for your cat, on two levels!

swords: im sorry to hear that.
 
I got a rock I found outside that I'll sell you for a way cheaper price. Only difference is this don't have the red berries growing out of it.
 
Ozzy yah know darn well she just got a pile of sapphires for nothing
smile_m_32.gif
she is just never happy
smile_n_32.gif
 
LOL

Swords: Yes, the "important parts" are the red bubbles.  That color is very rare for fluorite as is the "bubble" form.  Its also sitting on wonderfully formed fossilized apophyllite crystals with well-defined shapes.  And nooooooooo you would not make jewerly out of it!  It is a "specimen" to be displayed only.  That's sort of like someone saying to you..."What do you do with those plants, eat 'em?"  lol

[edit: Oops...got my ebay auctions crossed...the red fluorite is sitting on drusy quartz crystals. The auction I'm waiting to snipe right now has yellow botryoidal fluorite on fossilized apophyllite. The yellow is rare but not as rare as the red.]

And I'm very sorry to hear about your cat.

 I know that's rough (including the money).  My friend (who just lost her fiance 3 months ago) just put her dog down on Tues...cost her $441).

Jim, a rosetted Drosera I have so I'll take a good helping of humble pie.
smile_l_32.gif


Ozzy, I have several big rocks I can use to whump you upside the head.  
laugh.gif


And Rattler...you are moving on down my list and pretty soon you are going to catch up on Ozzy's level.  
smile_n_32.gif
  BTW, I got the sapphires labels and boxed...they look nice.

Y'know...lotta people on here are always mooning over 'spensive cars.  So...since this rock isn't as expensive as a CAR...I just thought....I'd do some mooning too. *sigh*

Rattler...I think you've been influenced too strongly by Ozzy. You are getting on down that ladder towards Ozzyland. And maybe even Jimscott a little....

If I lived where you do, I'd have buckets of sapphires and other minerals.

Hey Rattler come on down to Ozzyland. We don't get much respect down here but let me tell you, we have a blast. Don't let Pak fool you, She's been to Ozzyland a couple of times and she loves it here.

Its so sad. You are hallucinating again. And Bugweed seems to have made off with his meds and yours too. I wouldn't let people know about your...condition. I was keeping it a secret.
