Would the old timey inner tube patches work for reinforcing the wear area ? Maybe a little RTV Silicone rubber around the edges of the patch to prevent lifting ? Rust-oleum spray on truck bed liner ? Comes in small cans .

Has anyone heard from Mel lately ? I have been trying to get ahold of him for several days now but all I get is a busy signal and he is not responding to PM's
Maybe he froze to death or ice storm got his power lines ? If you hear anything can you PM me ?
Thanks, Harley

If the Green glass is slabbed , it will probably appear as regular glass. I had some and slabbed it for flintknapping and the Green color disappeared as it got thinner !

An Iron and a stony meteorite sphere both in the same place at the same time is mind boggling , bet the total payout on those two is going to run neck and neck with the power ball drawing !

Know what you are going thru, I lost my wife of 30 years, in a nursing home, because of incompetence by a nurse in what was supposed to be a short time visit for physical therapy before returning home.
As far as your laker goes , my wife and I collected them for many years and I would suggest you face polish the large flat side and leave the rest of it natural . That usually is the best way to display them . When and (if) you get tired of looking at it's beauty, then you can throw it in the tumbler or cut it up. As a display piece it is worth something (check E-Bay prices ) sliced up or tumbled, not so much !

Thanks for the info! I don't have the time or patience to catch the snake with its tongue out (unless it is coincidental). Even snakes will lick an attractive piece of stone !

Being as the item pictured was not well finished I would bet my last dollar your right, never thought about it being a net weight !

I don’t know anything about the artifacts. However, the pictures of the men wearing very big rings in their ears intrigues me. Seems like the rings would be a problem in battle or hunting. Opinion? Saturday night out with the Missus !

My guess would be the grooved stone was used for smoothing something like a dart or arrow shaft !
