Okay...before any one else says it (on the forum!), I'll say it: WHAT THE HECK IS TAKING SO LONG!! Sorry... I finally have the box put together. It's is now a Large Flat Rate Box! I couldn't fit everything I wanted to...but it's jam packed. rockbrain - I'll PM you the tracking number. I'll drop it off at the PO in the morning... Here's the stuff I snagged:  Here's the stuff I added: South Dakota Rose Quartz slabs  Polka Dot Agate and Pinolith slabs  Cinnamon Stone (came from rockjunquie originally)  Royal Velvet Sheen Obsidian slabs   Abhorrent Bruneau slab  Millefiori Glass slabs...one black other blue  Five Fairburn Agates  Teepee Canyon Agate nodule...and slabs  Green Moss Agate chunk  Gary Green chunk  Holt Canyon Agate - originally from aDave  Fordite chunks. There are some Fordite cabs in the box...but these are if someone wants to actually work some. This is not the "old" Fordite. It's new stuff.  Rolling Hills Wave Dolomite slab  |

I love that rolling hills you tucked in- vibrant with a nice pattern. A keeper.... if I was participating.

I made some cabs from the chunk that came from. Most RHWD cabs I've seen online don't seem to have a good polish. The ones I made shined up great...which is more the material than me! So...yeah...I'd snag that piece if I were someone else too!! LOL |

jasoninsdRose Quartz… slabs. Huh. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that. And those look pretty good size. Are you finding more like rough chunks, or large scepters? Anyway, fun stuff! I think we should start a traveling box where everyone gets to be after everyone else. 🤔🤓

LOL I'm gonna say chunks... Jugglerguy will attest we've "heard" the Rose Quartz out here is boulder sized. "Boulders I tell ya!" ***Oh...and your last statement...that would just be called a trade!

Okay...before any one else says it (on the forum!), I'll say it: WHAT THE HECK IS TAKING SO LONG!! Sorry... I finally have the box put together. It's is now a Large Flat Rate Box! I couldn't fit everything I wanted to...but it's jam packed. Jason…wow! Absolutely incredible additions you made and my wife is crossing her fingers some of that Fordite is still there by the time we get the box. I’m glad you went to the large freight box also. Oh! The rose quartz I’m hoping is left so I can grab one for the kid. She’ll love that!! |

It's nice that a lot of stuff has several pieces. I can take a few and leave some for others. I know there was some Fordite wanted down the line. I'm taking some but leaving more than I'm taking. I'll probably repackage a few things. Some of the plastic bags are getting really beat up. Most stuff is labeled but a lot of the sharpie on the plastic bags is getting really faint.

Can’t wait to actually see it, if it’s still there. |

Or we will expect to see two boxes at the end of the trip...
