Now I wonder if I had a stroke or something. Half of it isn't even red now. Makes me wonder if I even know what I am doing any more. In all fairness, I do know that if you are wearing your sunglasses, it can distort your color perception a bit. The problem is that I think I was wearing Stevie Wonder's sunglasses.

Nate and I got a piece in the box of Montanas you sent and it's blue. There is a couple pieces of Brenda in there, but that one for sure isn't Brenda. He will take a picture and post it.

I told Ali I should put a piece of turquoise in there to really mess with you, Mark K 🤣 But it's early and I'll be nice 😁 Here's the box you sent. We believe that blue one is chrysocolla or some other copper mineral

That was a little bonus I dropped in. It is chyso from AZ. There are 2 more bonuses in there because you bought a large box.

Years ago I was on a scenic drive with some family somewhere in Utah. The person next to me in the car kept going on and on about how beautiful everything was. This kept striking me as really odd. I mean it was nice, nature is nice, but, it wasn’t really very great conditions out, kind of overcast and just really not the best day for sight seeing. Later in the day her sunglasses fell on the car floor and I had to pick them up to hand them to her. Upon doing that I saw through the lenses and knew what I was seeing was off. So I put the glasses up to my eyes and looked outside at the scenery. These were literally rose colored glasses! She was basically seeing a sunset everywhere she looked! I finally understood all her raving, but it wasn’t real what she was seeing. I always wondered if she figured that out, or even cared. Good to keep in mind whenever at an outdoor rock show!
