    Description

    Madagascar Ocean Jasper Agate Odds and Ends
    Up for auction is a collection of Ocean Jasper odds and ends.  These are from the same rock from which I have been selling the pink and green slabs.  The pieces are slabs that have little or no of the main pattern in the rock or are corners and ends from the slabbing operation.  These are still some useable pieces, but they may require a little bit more work from which to get a cab.   Hence my lower opening bid price.
    Slabs are photographed wet to give some idea what they look like polished.  The last photo is dry to better show presence of any fractures or vugs.  Photos are a part of the description for this item.
    Note:
    Madagascar Ocean Jasper contains realgar and orpiment. Both minerals contain arsenic in their chemical structure, Arsenic is a highly toxic element if ingested or absorbed through the skin. It is important to use personal protective gear when cabbing or cutting".
    Ocean Jasper is a gem material, mined in only one place in the world - The Mine of Marovato on the Ambolobozo Peninsula of Madagascar.  It is called Ocean Jasper because the deposits were a part of the coastline, reached only by boat and collected at low tide.  The mine operated from 2000 - 2006 when the last of the quality material was removed.  The mine is now depleted and quality rough is getting harder and harder to come by.
    Please see my other listings for lots of other types of lapidary material.  These are a part of what I have accumulated over the years for my own use.  I find now I have way more than I can use and I need more shelf space in my shop.  Time for it to find it a new home.
    If you are buying more than one auction from me, I can do a combined shipment to help save on shipping costs.  If also purchasing one or more items from another of my sales, wait for me to send an invoice before submitting payment so I can give you the correct shipping charge
    I want happy customers and strive for 5 star service.  Upon arrival, if you feel this does not meet your expectations, please let me know before leaving feedback.
