I will also be willing to work with an overseas mailing if needed. I know that postage for international shipping can be (sometimes) daunting.
So no worries here about that.

Last chance to sign up for round 2! I will be drawing the names for the order this weekend!
I will put all the names that did not participate in round 1, then draw.
Then I will put all the names that wanted to go a 2nd time in round 2 in the hat and then draw.
Then I will post the order the first part of next week!

Sherri,
I'm up for round two if there is room. It's fascinating to see the accumulation of material from so many people and places that this board touches and most of whom I'll probably never meet directly. And the smell coming from the box was something I wasn't expecting. With all that leather in there, and earthy materials, and being packaged shut for a couple days through cold and warm, it's gathered it's own smell (not bad - just different) that was interesting to me. Normally rockhounds use eyes and ears and touch. Taste and smell are usually farther down the line or less distinctive.

Ok, I am drawing names. We have 21 in this round. I will mix the round 1 and 2 together so there will not be all newbies with not much material. And the drawing begins..........................

Sherri,
I have finally had the time to go through the 1st box and wrap it up. It's now 1 lrg and 1 medium. What would you like me to do?
I took out a lot of the rough that was just sitting there over the miles and put in a lot of agate - most from CA but some from elsewhere (such as a small bag from Woodward Ranch & Marfa Tx.
I added Turtle Mtn Blue Agate Nodules, some small cut Hausers, a small bag w/ Mex fire agate(3 pieces w/fire) another with 3 small pieces of rhodochrosite, 5 limb casts/wood, chunk of chapinite, chunk of brecciated jasper, chunk of Silver Lace Onyx, some pieces I don't know but are pretty good, 3 pieces of S. Cady red moss, and a few pieces of N. Cady plume from 3 locations. I've added 12 or so slabs (chapenite, cracked Dryhead, 2 brazilian, 2 bruneau (no real pattern so don't get too excited), and a few others I don't really know.
Tell me what you would like me to do - send to you the large to go through and set up for the next run and keep the medium for when it comes my way again? Send off one to someone in the mix? Send both to you?
PM me, please - and if you want the LRG box only sent to you (it contains the slabs and polished work - the Medium has mostly the larger rough rock and two barrels filled with smaller material), let me know what you want in it from what I was listing.
I'll post photos

Do to unforseen circumstances, I can not keep up with the box any longer...can anybody take over this box? I have not had a chance to get it ready for round 2. I can get it ready and mail it to Donnie as soon as we have a replacement for me. Please send me a PM. Thank you!!
