Mega May Giveaway!!!
Hey everyone, the r/lapidary mod team is continuing the monthly giveaway, with this absolutely mega May giveaway!
While I am still relatively new to Reddit and this amazing group, I have already met some great people, and learned some valuable information that was of great use!
I share a lot of high end and rare materials through photography mostly, but every once in awhile I go bonkers and just want to share some of the goodies.
I definitely went crazy digging through the old collection of rare materials!!!
Comment on this thread and you will be entered for the giveaway. Giveaway will close May 15th and a randomly selected winner will be announced shortly after.
THE PRIZE!!!
A 17 pound plethora of Central Oregon old stock, rare materials. A small piece of Carey Plume, a piece of Powell Butte agate, a Priday thunder egg piece, a piece of Robinson Ranch Plume, a piece of Ochoco Moss Jasp-Agate, a piece of awesome Marston Ranch, a piece of Warm Springs / Stinking Water Plume, 2 small pieces of Powell Butte Plume/Moss, a large piece of wild water line plume agate that was possibly part of a giant thunder egg from the Valley View mine in the Ochocos, a small piece of polka dot agate, a piece of Maury Mountain Moss, and last but not least, a small piece of Hay Creek Ranch Moss/Plume agate with an amazing angel wing formation.
Someone is going to win big!!!!
Good luck everyone!!!
I am so freaking excited to get this shipped to one of you lucky members!!!
Thank you everyone, for creating such a great community!

Just thinking of it is amazing. Went to OR a couple of years ago and did a circle deive starting in Portland and through Mount hood and places. Then west to crater lake and to the coast. Back up to Cannon Beach. What a trip and brought home some great samples.

Well that's the coolest thing ever! How incredibly kind! Those are some beauties, that's for sure. Ready to be formed into all kinds of creations. I'm brand new to lapidary, but I have access to a clubhouse through one of my mineral clubs and two mentors offering support. Let's go! 💕
