It seems I have this weekend to sort out materials that I plan to put in the box. I would also like to get the other participants' preferences on the following options, so I know which piles I should dig more into: Normal size Indonesian Fossil Coral slabs Small(preform) size Indonesian Fossil Coral slabs Gobi Agates (either for tumbling or keep as is) Gobi Jasper (tumbling, some could be cabbing size) Plume agate!!! Or else 🤬 I’m just kidding. |

I am sure the ones I owned will be thrown in your junk pile, or the junk pile of the junk pile Nah… I was talking to jasoninsd about this the other night actually. What’s in the junk pile is my no means “junk” (some of it certainly is), it’s just that compared to stuff I have it, it’s held to a certain standard. You gotta remember, my grandpa was one of the OG’s back in the day extensively mining and finding the deposits in the 60’s and 70’s. Ran in the circles with the other old timers who were doing heavy mining. I’ve been extremely blessed to take over his collection. Part of why I want to take some nice, rare material and throw it in the box so others can enjoy 😊 |

pebblesky . You counted NDK snd MsAli as two people in your first list. You counted them as one person in your second list. Oh I see. I thought one line represents one recipient. Wait, are these two supposed to be from the same family? Not sure from the replies in the post. |

They are essentially combined, because they are married 😂. So it will be counted as 1, going to one address

Then he puts rocks in and sends it out to the next person 😂 |

LMAO realrockhound you're close. MsAli will probably ship priority so I'll get it in 2-3 days. Hopefully 2 - we have a small house 😁 When rock boxes arrive we usually open them together and ooh & ahhh in unison 😎 |

My fiancé would bring them in, stash it away then tell me a week later a package showed up for me 😂 |
