Who knew he was a paisano? He sent me a bunch of Rhodonite and thinks I'm gonna make some cabs from it. So I made some cabs from it! Hope you all like. Thanks for looking!

	And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.
