So when it is my turn to send the box to the next person/address, I should address it to both NDK and MsAli. Right? I’m sure they will know how to handle it. 😀

Whoever sends to me. Just address it to “uncle Sasquatch”
That’s what my nieces and nephews call me thanks to my brother and sister 😂

This sounds like fun! If another is done down the road perhaps I'll participate - most of what I have y'all sent to me, and until I can get back to Nether's Farm, I don't have anything different to share  ...I look forward to seeing what is traded. |

I think this will be a blast! I'll probably be adding tumbling material, either locally sourced or bought!

Batcave, nyedegger plume, Carey, vistaite. Guess we’ll see what will fit I just hope that some of the cool rocks you add last through the people before me on the list!  |

I have sorted out some material over the weekend and here are some pictures. For anybody who will receive the box after me, feel free to let me know if you are interested in any of the materials shown. If there are multiple interest on a specific material, I will sort out more of that material and try my best to fit in the box. The small images are linked here but you can click on the individual images for a larger version. ----------------- Indonesian Fossil Coral small slabs. Some might deserver some lapidary work, or they will be nice tumbling materials.    ----------------- Some even smaller Indonesian Fossil Coral preforms. Would be perfect for tumble and some could become nice cabs.  Untitled Untitled----------------------- Some Gobi Agates from Mongolia (instead of Inner Mongolia of China), that most of them have smooth surfaces, interesting shape, a translucent layer of chalcedony and a caramel colored band under the crust which make them look like gummies:  ------------------- Some Gobi "Teeth" brecciated Jasper from Inner Mongolia, China. Most of them have smooth and interesting surfaces. They could be fun rock specimen to collect or could use some lapidary work. Tumbling will also be fun but the clear chalcedony lines might suffer from mild undercut.    ----------------- Some fossil? Not sure.  ----------------------- Some small Nephrite/Serpentine Jade slabs from China that I forgot to take pictures. |

My rocks are going to look like potatoes compared to those. I better get out hounding for something good to add when the box comes my way! |

The whole fun part for me is not knowing what's in the box. Enjoy going through it, pick out a few pieces, replace them with other stuff and send it down the road. Then post pics of what you snagged.

From the rule set by Roy, it seems we are supposed to take pictures what have been taken out and what have been replaced back in and share with the members. From Roy, I should also take pictures of the original content of the box once I receive it, but it is not yet clear to me if I should share the content of the original box with the members or not, or just keep it as archive. |

Just realized Pat and I live in the same city, although a pretty big city. Wondering if we could be more creative on shipping  |

I got lots of other good stuff to put in that box. So no fret in the surprise department. Might even put one of my tarantulas in there just to keep everybody on their toes 😂
