I normally try to get a picture of the whole batch together, but my wife went through and picked out her favorites first so I kept them separate. Here were her favorites.

And here is the rest

And here is a video. If anyone has a suggestion for good background music that won't get my video removed let me know. Silence is boring. I listened to several of the free ones Youtube has but didn't like them, but there are a ton to choose from.

Great job on that Unakite! Nice and shiny - just how I like 'em.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Great job on the Unakite! I wish I had a suggestion for background music for you...but I don't have any clues about the copyright hoohah. It seems some videos can use what I would think was copyrighted music...and others can't. It's too confusing. LOL
