Quartzite - Am I crazy?

You should have some that is cut and polished to show it's potential.

Some very top end slabs, from the very best found, priced high enough to make you very happy if they sell.

Some small slabs and those that just are not as nice as the others priced to be sure they sell and get out of your inventory.

Some small sized rough and some pieces that will require a 18 to 24 inch saw.

There is a huge expense in doing the Quartzite show but if your stone is really top end stuff you could get a lot of interest fast. In fact if your stone is consistent in quality and SOLID I would be interested in the top end pieces.

It is not easy to break out a new stone and get it known. Kaleidiscope Jasper from Oregon looked great and had a lot of hype early on BUT then the chatter started about all of the pits and fracture lines it had and I hardly hear about it now.

I think you might get a better feel for how well your stone would sell by doing a show such as the Madras Oregon show. The owner of the Willow Creek mine and the owner of the Carrasite mine are at this show and both attract a lot of attention. There are several Ebay sellers who buy rough at the Madras show from these owners and then sell it by the slab. If it is good stone that gets even more exposure.
