I sent some rocks to Tony (Catmandew) to slab for me, because they were too big to cut on my WF. The deal was he would keep half, and send the other half back. Well, I tell ya what, folks, my half was pretty DARN good, as was the total weight of the package I got back. Guess Tony's scale doesn't work very well, either. Some of you may remember the Youngite I posted way back when. I had Tony cut it, and asked only for a display piece. Here it is! Here it is again, on the right. I'm not sure what's on the left, I think that's a Tony present? I also sent him some "pass it on" rocks. He cut them, and passed them back. I sent him some pet wood, and he had a hard time cutting it, some of it just shattered. These did not! He also sent these slabs, which were above and beyond, but are very cool! I'm not sure if this is mine or his, but it's pretty darn gorgeous! Aside from the initial, well-packed Youngite, I received 6 (yep, 6 well-taped cardboard layers) in my box. Sorry, folks, I was so excited, I took pictures before I tackled the tape. Also, in the tape, the rocks look like they would wet. Thanks so much Tony! And now I have some great prizes for my recipe contest.....

Tony is certainly a generous person and you are not the first to benefit from his kindness. WTG Tony.

Ya, KD, it took me a LONG time and several different tools to peel all that tape, but the rocks arrived in great shape! Next time I send him rocks, I think I will send him a fresh roll of tape, haha.

Hey Karen, You are welcome it was my pleasure. Glad the box arrived with the youngite intact!! I just got back from my trip and I see I have some reading to do to get caught up. Oh and dont worry about the tape, I bought a case a long time ago and have only used half of it.
Have a good day................Tony
