Thanks All! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/stedmo/markheart11re.jpg) I delivered the heart to this person who does the rock sculpting He really liked it. He does lots of sculpting with this rock. Fabulous work!! This is the rock cache I got from him ! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/stedmo/calcitecachere.jpg) The yellow is ‘honeycomb calcite’ which comes from Mexico. He pays $1.65lbs for it. The bluish material is a form of onyx mined in Argentina. It can go as high as $2.65 lb. The other onyx material is from Mayor AZ. He gave me these rocks in return for a heart he wants me to make out dark color onyx which is pictured on top of the blue onyx. No problem! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) One thing he makes is wine racks out of the honeycomb calcite. Nicely polished glowing large chunk of yellowish orange Beautiful!! Thanks Agrin ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
