Holy crap! I almost chocked when I saw that first boulder opal! It's Stupendous!!! I never saw one like that before...! The second boulder opal is exquisite but that first one just drools of purple- the second Arizona agate is the bomb too! CRAP they're all fantastic - this has to be the best complete batch of best batches! - the only one that I don't like, is nowhere to be seen! Sorry I'm being incomprehensible, but I'm flabbergasted! How can you possibly top this batch? You ROCK! Sorry the keys get slippery when there's drool all over them...  |

That first boulder opal is stunning, the malachite is awesome, all the rest of them are just very super nice.

Man! I'd have to totally agree with Tweet! ;D
What a super-duperdy batch of greatness. That 1st BO just glows of purple...that's the best of the best! I alos like that 2nd Arizona Agate, the deep, deep blue Lapis is sweeeet and of course the Brazilian has to be one of my favs. I alos love that Malachite too! I tried my 1st Malachite tonight and holy green mess!!! ;D I couldn't believe how messy that stuff is...but it's also amazing how it transforms once it starts taking on a polish! Fantastic stuff Ed! Thanks for sharing!

If it wouldn't had been the first BO, my favorites would had been the two AZ agates.
But that stunning BO could shade anything, even the Sun!

Love the Smithsonite, Labradorite and that last Boulder Opal. Come to think of it, the purple Burro Creek ain't too shabby, either.

I am not going to waste web space saying what Tweetiepy said so well. However, if I come up with some really nice rock, I am just going to send it to Stoner so I can see its full potentional instead of what I might do to it.

There are some fantastic shapes there. The rocks, well they're just OK.... NOT!!! What an absolute stunning set of cabs. That second AZ agate is awesome! Love the shape of that smithsonite (never heard of that rock before). Of course the first B.O. is like nothing I've seen before. You are truly the master.

I had another look on those beauties and noticed the perfect oval of the second BO. Amazing achievement, I know how soft and tricky that stone can be.

I love them all, but I really dig that second Arizona agate. I'd love to get my hands on some of that rough.

MichaelJohn - www.Rocksnpots.com has several slabs of that purple Burro Creek agate for sale. Go to their site, click on Vintage Index and up comes the Burro Creek button. You might also try Jamie (DesertDweller on this Board) and/or www.Greatslabs.com. Mike www.Banjo-Creek.com might have some, too. ;)S |
