I found this parcel of turquoise cabs at a thrift store yesterday for $6.00.
How could I pass this up?
They are all backed.
Any guesses on origin?

@Stracci What a fantastic find at a thrift store! All I see at my thrifts is Tupperware, lol. I just know you’re going to create some beautiful jewelry with these cabs.

Wonderful lot @Stracci . Our Greedywill store puts EVERY good item they get online. Unlike @Patina , we see Sterlite. No Tupperware anymore either.

This thrift is my favorite. It’s in a smaller NM town, south of Abq.
They’re not too good at checking things.
I’ve found many treasures there!

Well now, that’s cool. Is it petrified wood?
I don’t really even try thrift store shopping here. Who knows what would turn up in IN.

Oh, I’m getting ready to drop off a bunch of old skates. I like getting decent ones for kids to reuse, but people think I might want them all. And I get gifted anything skate related. Quite a bit of that has ended up at Goodwill. Sorry kids 
yes, nice quarter cut of what i suspect should be a bookend pair.
back edge has some nice bark structure
gotta go back today and hope other half shows up
if not no biggie
did not put it down once after I rescued it

Seems like maybe there are several kinds here? This was supposed to go to Stracci.

Maybe they are all Kingman… 
Just kidding
Perhaps that pale one with black matrix is Chinese?

That’s what I was thinking about that one. The rest seems maybe to have some Kingman (of course ). That one at the top right looks to have a bit of water webbing. But maybe some other stuff too? The 2 you pictured separately seem different, so

Greedywill store. That is a great name. The owner of our local GW brings in over 1 million a year. this is for profit. They always want you to round up and pretend they are non profit and money goes to the workers. What large business doesn’t hire workers? I like to go and find clothes for the grandkids before they get to an age where second hand clothes are forbidden. no jewelry found at mine.

The corp people here also make big bucks. That’s why they are termed “for profit non-profits”.
Nice find.
The upper center one looks like some Kingman I have from the 1980’s. I see a few more Kingman, too.,
