Dang Sands! You're work totally blows me away! That stone looks great in a geometric cut and pretty masculine too. Bet if you wear that at a show, someone tries to buy it right off your neck......mel

John, you know how I feel about your cabs. That's a winner. I wish Kim would post photos of her cabojohn collection. I think I'm jealous...
Still waiting on that Blue Mountain jasper piece. I guess you're gonna deliver it in person.
Hey, FYI.... MEL SENT ME SOME REALLY NICE MATERIAL FOR MY BIRTHDAY. Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. I'm hoping you'll help me get it cabbed.
My driveway awaits the sandsmobile. ;D S

Man, I can't wait to get to Mel's material. You wouldn't believe the jasper slabs he sent me.
And Randy cut up some stuff for me, too.

Don't sell that one. That streak in the sky is a fantastic scene. Like a meteor about to strike.
