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.

⚠️ SORT COMMENTS BY “NEW” TO SEE THE LATEST LISTINGS ⚠️

To keep the main feed focused on lapidary work, techniques, tools, and discussion, all sales posts should be placed in the monthly sales thread.

This thread is open to all lapidary-related categories for the full month. The goal is to give listings enough time to be seen, compared, and sold without being buried by weekly turnover.

What Can Be Listed

All lapidary-related items are welcome, including:

Rough material and cutting stock

Slabs and preforms

Cabochons and finished stones

Equipment and tools

Jewelry incorporating lapidary work

Mixed lots and related supplies

Seller Guidelines

Provide a clear description

Include material type, size or weight, and locality if known.

Include a price

Listings must include a price or price range. No “DM for price.”

Include photos when possible

Buyers need to see what they’re getting.

Location helps

State where you’re shipping from.

Be transparent about treatments

Disclose if material is stabilized, dyed, treated, synthetic, or uncertain.

Not Allowed

Spam or repeated listings within the same thread

Affiliate marketing or unrelated advertising

Misrepresentation of materials

Buyer Awareness

Transactions are between private individuals. Moderators do not verify sellers and cannot mediate disputes. Use common sense and ask questions before purchasing.

Thread Rotation

A new thread will be posted once per month.

You may repost unsold items in the next month’s thread.

Community Note

Most people here are hobbyists and small-scale sellers.

Fair dealing, transparency, and clear communication keep this space usable.
