My contest winnings came today from Tela. My first thought was : "Are you nuts"? All of the time that went into these is a little overwhelming that they could be a contest prize. I am so grateful for Tela's kindness. There are a couple that were either not labeled or writing wore off in transit. A few others had "Question Marks" on the bags. If anyone could help ID these I would appreciate it. I will then write the name on the bag. The arrival timing was perfect. I was able to spread them out on the deck to absorb the energy of the eclipse. For some of my customers, that will be huge. These are just too nice to use in the suncatchers I am making. Will be saving them for when I can get back into cabbing/wrapping. If larger photos are needed let me know. I am trying not to take advantage of the 3 photos per post, so usually limit my photos to three here and more on Flickr if needed. All of them. Sorry, did not have enough room to take all out of bags. Some for ID. The one on the left is labeled Sugar. Sugar Quartz, maybe? The middle one appears to be marble? The far right is labeled "cool Jasper". Yes it is cool. Any idea on a specific name? More to ID. 2nd from left, top row. Upper right is labeled ? Jasper. Middle left is labeled ? Lowed left appears to be Quartz like and labeled ? Ya know what? A fun contest could be to ID the unidentified specimens that were contest winnings or purchased and received marked as unknown or unmarked. Hmmmmm.

I wish I could help more. Some of the unknowns are from what's left of things that RTH folks have sent to me. I hope there weren't too many. I tried to do the boxes equally.

Not too many preforms, nor too many needing ID's. I love them all.

Absorb the energy of the eclipse?
What does eclipse energy do to the rocks?

Absorb the energy of the eclipse? What does eclipse energy do to the rocks? Means someone has a medical Merry Jane permit.. Makes your rocks into stones.. Sheesh that 4 years you spent in 3rd grade didn't help much huh? Who you hanging out with this afternoon Bob? Those bikers come back ? Tela sure over gave on that huge and awesome prize huh. That has to be one of the best if not the best awards ever. You really went above and beyond girl !! rockjunquie.

Many of my customers believe in the healing properties of rocks. So, some "regulars" had asked me to be sure what was to be used in their items be outside during the eclipse. I figured why not add today's arrival. Yes, some of my customers are into "nontraditional" things. But they are all very nice, caring people.
Agree, this is one of the best things I have ever won.

You bet girl.. Go with what my customers want all the time. A placebo has amazing effects sometimes.
