Howdy folks, The other day I received a nice box of rocks form one of our members, NorthShoreRocks, that contained some cool stuff from his neck of the woods, Minnesota. Lots of stuff I'd never seen before and some really interesting specimens. There were lakers and some neat chert and flint plus some other really neat stuff. Thanks a lot Steve. Got me some empty boxes and next week there will be a ox headed your way. Here are a few pics.....Mel Mary Ellen Jasper ( stromatolite) in deep red and gray/green; Cool jaspelite ( jasper and hematite) Deep red mossy laker and another brightly colored jasper This stuff is very cool, kind of a tiny orbed poppy jasper with red and hematite. Really reminds me of the strawberry jasper up by our old ranch.

Great gifts! (I'm trying to figure out how you're going to send the ox, though.)

Very nice stuff, the last orbicular jasper is awesome. Should cut some great stones.
