Hi Everyone, I had asked Rocpup about his Skull Creek Eggs that he mentioned before and ordered a few pounds and asked that he pack a box and surprise me with the extras in it for a set price. I do love surprises and this box was great! My pictures never show the beauty but you can get an idea of why I am so happy with it! ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300420.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300426.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300424.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300423.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300422.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/P7300421.jpg) Thank you Don! I love them all and that purple one....What is it? Fran

Thanks Fran glad you are happy. I have a lot of rock and trying to pick out you a surprise was a little challenging. I see that a couple of them chipped that USPO is sure getting rough on our MFRB boxes. The blue-purple rock is from Southern CA, Indian Pass. Over the years we have a collected a few nice pieces and I have brought a few pieces to Washington. It is Dumorturite (spelling?) Desert Lapis or Poor Man's Lapis. I have seen massive boulders weighing over a ton but they are gone now and you wonder where they went. It will take a nice polished if it is cut in water but if cut in oil it will turn black and not polish. Some of it is what I call silicaized(filled with a quartz like material) and will produce very fine stones. Enjoy Don
