Malachite or copper ore, a few jaspers, But mostly Agates. But as for selling.. I'm sure soemthing can or could be sold via ebay.. but why are you wanting to get rid of it.. perhaps you don't collect stones yourself.. Sad to see a great find like this end up in someones hands that has no clue or chooses to "sell" it..

Nice stone, you should get a tumbler for them. It would definitely be worth it. Do you mind if I ask what region you live in?

So how much did the slicer cost ya? And is it portable? I know of some large flint rocks that I can carry but would love to cut into slabs.

I'm sorry you took my words wrong.. I was simply speakign aloud.. and nothing was directed to you in particular.. As for the stones.. Yes great find and I see planty that can be of value to those interested. "apache tears" (black rounded stones first few images) Jaspers, agates geodes etc.. All these stone are great sizes for tumbling.. They would need to be a bit larger for lapidary type work.. thou one can never tell what you would find if one digs deeper..

They do look interesting but kinda smallish. Not sure of the value but would be worth throwing them into a tumbler. Maybe marinedad would chime in and help out here ?
