First off, the winners prize: Agate Creek Agate from Australia.
Not common stuff in the States folks. I am friends with someone who has a friend in AU and he ships this to him so Im basically getting it from the source. But even so, it is really hard to get ahold of and I pay good money to get it here, so I generally HOARD it. ;D
Several small slabs cut from whole nodules, ranging in size from 1"x1" to 2 1/2"x 2 1/2" (one is an endcut) :
And for your cutting pleasure, a small, uncut chunk showing pink and white water lines on one edge. Just the right size for a WF saw:
THE CONTEST:
As most of you know from my gushing posts and fuzzy baby photos, I am getting a puppy soon. My two hobbies in life are motorcycles and rocks......or is that rocks and motorcycles (I would hate to be forced to decide which I like more) and so the puppy's first name has already been decided. She was named "Dyna" after one of our Harleys. But names are important to me and so I think she needs a middle name on her pedigree papers as well..........I would like for my forum friends to help.
Your job: To give puppy "Dyna" a middle name.
The middle name needs to have a nice ring to it when paired with the first name Dyna and the name must have something to do with rocks or lapidary in general. My puppy will then officially have a rockin Harley name LOL
Guess as many times as you'd like until Tuesday, January 20th. If I choose your name, you will win the Agate Creek agate prize.
I will announce the winner on Wednesday, January 21st.
Thanks for playing and good luck!!!
