Ralph, I'm glad it arrived safely and your HAPPY!!! I always worry that my material won't fill up to the expectations. BTW...the Pet Wood in the bottom left was found this November in Holbrook area, the other two pieces of Pet Wood come from Green River, Utah, there's a piece of Texas Springs (pink limbcast material), the Plume is unknown area from Oregon, the other green piece is a from a local quarry which the stuff tumbles very well, (and Fatrichie says it cabs wonderfully) and the Dino Bone is Utah. A friend gave me the piece of blue, and I bought the other piece for a buck a pound. The Variscite is probably Lucin, Utah..but it is a great piece from that location. Enjoy Ralph and Mary Ann! Thanks for posting the pics and relieving my anxieties! Steve

Steve, the filler is gorgeous. Ralph and Mary Ann are wonderful people, and it warms my heart to see good things come to them.
