I came home last Wednesday to find 2 curious boxes. One was the well known FRB and one was a little plain box that had been patiently waiting for for over a month. The FRB I got from Jamie aka desertdweller. She and Rodney can pack a FRB like nobody's business and this one was no exception! Imagine my surprise when I opened it. BTW, I had no idea what was in it. It should have come with a bib. Here's the goodies: BTW, even Mrs. Rocklicker was into this one! Cool plume agate thing. Labradorite and OJ: Fancy jasper, fluorite and aztec lace (Jamie, you mush have been thinking of my wife when you put this one together!): Pipeline canyon from Utah: 4th of July nodules. These are like candy to me ;D: New stuff. It's awesome! If that wasn't enough...there was box #2. This one was a doozie. It was either going to be new cabbing wheels or this very special box of rocks. Well, looks like I will have to limp my worn out wheels along for a while more. Shipping alone was more than most FRB's and it took 5 weeks to get here. Well, it was worth it! A box of Hungarian agate! Some closeups. By the way, this may sound weird, but they even smell nice, like a cigar. Some polished ones: Needless to say it was a rocklicking paradise. I was blown away. Each and every one is so unique and interesting. It was worth the wait and exchange rate. Between the two boxes I could barely contain myself. If you need me, I'll be in front of the cabber! ;D Steve

That Hungarian agate is some beautiful stuff. Man, I would be at the saw and cabbing machine also. Looking forward to seeing the results of your efforts at the machines.
