Hey everyone, Monday I recieved my second place prize for not quite guessing the number of stones in the jar. Paul (rockrookie) sent me a small FRB packed full of slabs and other stuff!!!! I just figured I should show off ;D... ( oooohhhh.... look what I got... ) I'm not sure what many of these slabs are, but I think I know a few of them.... In this first pic: the bottom left is a piece of Montana agate ( sweet looking piece at that, I can't wait to get that one polished ), and on the middle row far right is something with a little turquoise in it ( maby? ).... In this second pic: the bottom left is a piece of picture jasper all ready to cab or tumble, to the right of that is... oh darn... I can't remember ( I want to say cobra, or tiger jasper? ), I'm not sure of any of the others really, other than freaking sweet!!!! Also crammed in the box, was a cut and polished thunder egg ( I think? Please correct me if I'm wrong ) And... yep there's more ( the little box had no bottom ;D!!!).... a couple pieces of tumbled polish flint, one is all ready to wear... I just want to say thank you very much Paul, this was one heck-of-a second prize haul !!!! I just keep finding myself staring at some of these slabs, trying to decide just what I'm going to do with them. Oh, and Diane likes the new pendant.... Thanks again Paul, and take care everyone, Chris p.s. ...any I.D. on these slabs would be great ....

Oh, those are all great! I think in that second picture the top left looks like a snake river agate and the middle left almost looks like a rooster tail moss agate. Someone will have to tell us for sure on that one. I know a few of the others but I will leave it to Paul to give the names. Maybe I can do a few more later if needed. Fran
