SECTION B ROCKS

Section B includes rocks in stock, of which we have smaller quantities than those in Section A do.  Many are one-of-a-kind.  Sizes are quite varied.  If you order your preferred size (if equal to, or smaller than the given size, if there is one) we will try to trim to the size you need.  Some items cannot be trimmed. 

Descriptions below do not include full locality information, and some do not have much more locality data than is listed.

Size listings primarily refer to the largest available, unless otherwise noted.  Specimen prices follow the schedule below, but sizes are approximate.  Some prices are noted with the listings, and are the prices that will be charged.
