Hello again,

    I don't post very often, but I do like to read each and every
    posting. Tons of information for us wanna be silversmiths. 

    I read the archives concerning the price of variquoise rough, but
    most of the responses were more geared to weather or not the
    snowville variquoise was really variquoise.  I have an opportunity to
    purchase about 50 lbs of this material (love to work with it) and am
    wondering if anyone on this list has any idea of what it might be
    worth? 

    Whether ot not the experts believe this is only variscite does not
    concern me. I have worked the material for a number of years (just
    haven't put any cabochons in jewelry) and prefer it over turquoise.
    As far as I am concerned, it has more character and variation.  I
    recently purchased one piece that I am particularly fond of.  I would
    be happy to e-mail a photo of this slab if anyone is interested. 

    Any information you share is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,
Jed
