A happy rock! Very cool. Must be before it got thrown in the tumbler for the torture. LOL! Kids are so awesome. My grandkids are not little anymore and I think my kids are done having kids. Except maybe my middle dau. She has no kids, yet, but desperately wants one. It's been very, very difficult for her and it brings her immense pain. We still have hope, though. I know you must hear it all the time, but seriously, they grow up so fast- cherish and protect their childhoods. When are you due? Do you know if it is a boy or a girl, yet? I never wanted to know, but it was a pretty imperfect science when mine were being born, so they may have been a moot point. We haven't found out yet - June 1 is the reveal date. We didn't find out with our daughter and it was a little hectic getting girly stuff then. Due October 15! I hope your daughter gets to have her own bundle of joy!

Some Wonderstone from Utah we collect a few months ago. It's easy to become addicted to rock collecting! My husband rented a bigger saw from Home Depot to slice them! Renting a saw from Home Depot? Oh my I hadn't thought of that! What kind of saw did you rent? Really nice pieces btw - beautiful!

I believe it's called mica schist? It has rough garnets in it. I saw a really cool picture where the garnets were protruding to display themselves (how do you do that?). Or should I just get the garnets out and then....?
