FWIW, I have noticed in the past that one cannot attach photos directly to a PM but can insert a link to a photo that is stored at an offsite location or even in a post (or from your attachments directory) here, and the photo will show up in the PM. It is probably designed to prevent users from using the public forum for free "private" storage.
It's really hard to see the seams here, Avaa, but they don't look like MKs to me, unless they are newer ones that I am not familiar with. They look more like Master Cloudy or maybe Akro Moss Agate variants to me.
Only a few older ash trees have survived on my property. I've probably lost 50-75 of them and I've already cut up eight 60-80 footers that fell into the yard or over my access roads this year. The only upside is that I have plenty of good firewood . . .
Very cool, Rick - I'm glad you finally found one you like! I have never really been into sulfides but I do have two elephants that I purchased over the years, and that's enough for me.
@Alan Your contemporary collection is stellar and I really enjoy seeing these examples. If my trying to guess the artist gets tiresome just let me know and I'll be happy to stop. Otherwise, I appreciate the opportunity for practice and learning.
Are these from William Murray?
I think most, if not all, are nice Champions.
Here is a comparison pic I had handy - Champion left and Ravenswood right.
I think you have other variants of the Champion R/W/B in your group too.
More Champions . . .
