It goes without saying that Dave has a mushy spot in my heart as he was the first person to reach out to me when I first joined this group! I ordered some of his brazils. ONE flat rate box was all. Yeah, right... He's already pretty much polished these faces ;D for me. I'm gonna see if I can get it even shiney-er. (hey Dave...the green stuff on the back skin of these...that musta been a BIG dop stick!) Beautiful halves to play with AND some complete nodules cut in half. odds & ends. Hey Dave...is this a green jasper of some type? (upper left) He also sent this. I love it! What the hell is it? (hahaha) So the white cluster now has a home under the Bunnies and is guarded by the Gargoyle. Thank you soooooo much Dave for everything. I love it all and am gonna send a friend down on southern Oregon coast some of the brazillians too. (not the other stuff though!)

Liz, You know Snowdog spoils us all rotten! That is some great Brazilians, and I like that Crystal Cluster. I know I bought some Lakers from him, and he sent me those as well as a bunch of some of my favorite rocks...Brazilians! WTG Dave...always up and beyond. Enjoy the rocks Liz. Steve

Liz , I can't take credit for much other than putting them in a box !! ---- those first two halves were already polished -- think the guy did them on a vib flat lap -- he had several weights he put on to hold them down ( or else the dop stick was a 2x4 ! ;D ) --- I think that green one is an imperial jasper --( think you said you like dark green ?? )-- is slick enough anyway, ---- maybe Mel can tell us for sure ?? and last but not least ---- the white cluster came from " --------" out east --- I told someone that I wanted to send out a couple and he sent me a whole box full , --- they have been here "bathing" for a month or so in some nice warm acid to remove all the " iron oxide " ;D ;D --- if you don't like them you can always pass them on ! ;D

All the rocks look great!
I was supposed to go camping on the weekend to look for rocks but on the exact same day my dad received free tickets and free dinner at Movie-World, a theme park in Australia. I decided to go to the theme park. I hope I will be able to go and look for rocks again soon.

Gorgeous rocks! And hey, if you ever decide to get rid of that gargoyle, I know of a 10 year old boy (my son) who'd love to adopt it

Aww, gee, if I ever get any more rock money, I'm gonna buy something from Snowdog. :-)
