Ya know.... nobody ever said you can't think outside the box on these contests, and Michaeljohn certainly did! I have been laughing at his answer all day, and I just have to select him as the winner. Congrats michaeljohn, you know the routine...send me a PM with your address and it's on the way. Today's prize is a Polish jasper pendant with a little bit different pattern to it: The contest will be a bit harder this time: I have posted photos of 6 pendants or freeforms, and they are mostly unusual or atypical examples of lapidary materials. All you have to do is tell me what they are, in order from left to right. Clue: one or more are fossil materials. Whoever gets them right, or most of them right, wins the goodie of the day. I am posting these a little later in the day so everyone on the west coast will have a better chance to win, too. Here they are: Hmmm, some toughies there, yes? Take your best shot! By the way, if you want to PM your answers to me, in order not to give your answers away, that might be a good idea! Some people have reported a problem sending me a PM, so you can email me directly at: mcet-elyq@spamex.com. And you previous winners, if you want to guess anyway, PM me and I will let everyone know after the contest if you would have been a potential or close winner, if you want. Vance

OMG I won??? I kinda felt bad about doing that to the old guy, but hey, there have been plenty of Christmases that were pretty lean, so ...
Thank you SO much, Vance! This entire contest has been a very nice gesture, and a lot of fun!

I think I spotted two fossils. I'm very sure about one of them but have doubts about the other one. I am not going to say more of course, since I'm out of the contest. That red one which looks like a rose is outstanding! Congratz Michaeljohn, funny answer! Adrian

Hehehe thank you, Adrian. Vance's contests have been GREAT fun!
I have NO idea what any of these materials are, but I LOVE the last two, especially the one on the left with the wavy lines. That's absolutely gorgeous!

Since some of you have had problems reaching me by PM, you can email your answers directly to me at mcet-elyq@spamex.com. I don't know why some can reach me by PM and some can't, but I hope this will fix things. Sorry for the trouble.
Vance

congats to the winners in these contest. I have no clue on any of them but there is a really cool star in the upper center of the last cab. That one alone is worth a shot in the dark.

yes, bwcachick, I did get your Pm with your mailing address, and the package is on the way. If you have sent me another PM, I did not get it. Michaeljohn: I got your PM and your package is on the way, too. Note: to all who email me (not PM), be sure to put your RTH name and actual name so I will know who is emailing me. Thanks.

I did not get a PM from you. Did you send me a direct email? I received one that had this at the beginning: "Remember I'm new, but I must say I'm learning a lot while doing this;-)))) The best I can do is" but I am not sure which RTH member it is from. Whoever sent it, please let me know your RTH name, ok?
