Donna sent me the most wonderful box of specimens and slabs today, it really made me cry!! It has been a week full of generosity from fellow RTH'ers and it gets me a little choked up!! If I had 3,000 mile long arms, many of you would be getting big hugs from me!!! So anyway here are the lovely things that Donna sent me! Thank you so very much, I love them!! You obviously know me pretty well, because you picked all the colors I love!!! Specimens Front to back, left to right Linerite-beautiful! Garnet?, Quartz crystal points, Tampa Bay Coral, Barite Rose Amethyst Cluster, Mexican Calcite, Cyanotrichite, Geode? More Don't know what the blue is but I love it, it is shimmery Dolomite cluster, pyrite cluster-my son's fav, lace agate with crystals Awesome Slabs 3 kinds of tigers eye, amethyst, flourite, plumes, moss, mutton jade and many more beauties! :drool: and there is more Wrapped Cabs! Donna is one heck of a wrapper!! i love them both! The gold one is just beautiful the cab is gorgeous!!! Maybe she can ID for me! Donna thank you so much!!

What a great package! All that cool stuff and two wraps, and she does do a beautiful wire wrap. She needs to post her wraps more often ;D

You really have a nice gift there! I have some of the amazonite like that from Amelia, VA. It is beautiful cabbed but I have not finished any yet. Just seen some examples and pictures do not do it justice! Have fun Amber. There is enough there to keep you busy for a long time! Fran

Donna is one super lady! Tammy and I were fortunate enough to meet her and hang out a little. She sent home a most gorgeous selection of her barn rocks ;D ;D I had a blast in that barn and she is very knowledgeable, but before that she sent me what has become my specimen collection. I have added a few pieces but 90% came as a gift from her.
Thanks again Donna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
