Odd, I've sent a message twice and only one of my team mates is responding. I'm packing the boxes today, but still no addresses.

My box from Tigger has arrived. I am getting ready to go out this afternoon so I will try to get pictures of all my wonderful treasures tomorrow and post them. I have some great stones and my tumblers will be happy as I am.

Well, I got home while the sun was almost high enough for pictures so here are the stones I received from Tigger. It is an awesome batch with some stones I have always wanted to get my hands on. This first picture is all stones to tumble, some have been started through a course batch. ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0294.jpg) This is a batch of slabs, some beautiful slabs. ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0295.jpg) Some slabbets and preforms which I will tumble since tumblers are all I have. ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0296.jpg) Some bigger pieces, I just might have to find a saw this summer. I would love to slab these. ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0297.jpg) Some more tumble type Petrified Wood and other tumbles. ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0298.jpg) But wait I saved the best for last. It is a ruby 14 grams/70 carats. Awesome! Now what do I do with it? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz161/tanyafrench/DSCN0299.jpg) I don't think I sent enough in exchange for all this. Bless you Tonja, I am thrilled. Enjoy looking and I need names for some of these slabs. Tanya

Now that I can see them again, I can help with a few names. I was so into searching for stuff to send, that after I packed it, I couldn't remember what all I put in. Let's see if I can help..... Slab photo - small white square = opalized pet wood piece in top right corner= Fl. brain correl cut to see what inside looked like. won't shine or tumble, just cool to look at. 2 big grey & red = Indian painted jasper ( I think) bottom left corner= carnelian agate In the middle greyish blue & white I think is Amethyst Sage. In the picture with the egg, top left I think thats a piece of Graveyard Plum. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure you all remember my memorie isn't the best. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Tanya, I'm glad you enjoyed the box. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Thanks so much Tigger, I am very drawn to that little piece of what looks like Ocean Jasper in Pic #3 and that chunk of Obsidian in Pic #4. Love that Indian Paint Jasper. Wow, they are all just beautiful. Can't wait to get them tumbling. Bless you for this awesome treat.

Wow, that's really nice, I was worried that I wasn't "doing the right thing" with mine, now I've seen yours I feel much better about it! My gift box to Stephen Sexton includes (but is not limited to) the following: lots of pet wood, some pet wood limb casts, blue calcite, yellow calcite, green calcite, amethyst, amazonite, apatite, fluorite, lots of agates, jaspers, bunch of slabs, lots of other things. Some of my very favorites. Oh, also included one of the custom GW knives I had made. SSexton - box to be mailed out tomorrow, 10 pounds, 4 ounces. Give you a hint as to size, the platter they are sitting on is 12" wide. Pictures below: ![](http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1914/20110405309.jpg) ![](http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7418/20110405312.jpg) ![](http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/9295/20110405313.jpg) ![](http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1844/20110405314.jpg) ![](http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/6862/20110405315.jpg) ![](http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3428/20110405316.jpg) ![](http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3176/20110405318.jpg) ![](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8853/20110405319.jpg) ![](http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/6213/20110405321.jpg) Stephen, I really hope you like this, I didn't really know what to send so just picked from what I liked the best. The knife was made for me by a company called HQ, they do custom runs for me about twice a year using top shelf blades from other masters. This knife will last you a lifetime!

I received both my packages today! One from Rockrookie (Paul) and the other from Haleysdream (Nancy). Just thought I would rub it in for those whom are procrastinating. Those people don't play around! The boxes was bulging. It was like Christmas for me. Both boxes was loaded with unbelievable slabs and other goodies. I will be posting pic soon, I just had to be one of the first to post. Ha! Again, thank you Rockwizz for doing this and thank you to my two new friends. Ray

Sheri,
Got back in town this afternoon and picked up my mail from the post office. Couldn't wait until tomorrow, because I knew your box was there. It wasn't a box, it was a treasure chest. Anyway I'll post pictures next week. Am busy counting and packing for the rock show starting tomorrow.
Just wanted to say thanks so much.
Diane
