"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."

	Any agate is fun to cut and polish, I would post some pictures of the stuff I have finished but unable to post pictures nor can I add any posts also have a sweet geode I recently cut. So I put this up to see if I can add to profile nothing else will.

Leaverite!!! LOL I thought I knew what leaverite was.... now I'm lost. I'm going to cry. I feel like I have to throw away half my collection now and start over.

Seriously - Your pieces keep raising the bar for me, for real. Every time I thin i've seen something awesome, you post some junk that screams. "Girl, you ain't seen nothing yet."

Love it!
