I'm cheating here. A while back I made a trade with gr(gary) and wound up putting away my side before photographing them.
I wound up getting some colorful pieces of AZ wood, some local jaspers, some quartz crystals which will be perfect for my students to analyze, oh and what else....
Oh! He also sent a batch of barite nodules he collected in Holbrook which I asked him about. I wanted to see more of them. Heavy little suckers. He also put in some geodes from the midwest that are very pretty.
Thanks Gary! (Sorry no photos)
As for Mel,
He sent back a book I had wanted him to read - one on Parasites - as he says, not one for dinner conversation. Anyway, he returned the book with a medium flat rate box for ballast. Inside were a batch of polished stones for classroom and club use, a box of carefully wrapped preforms. (I told him that this was one of the nicest yet cruelest gifts I have ever received as now that I'm going back to school, I gotta find time to finish them all), and three pieces of shrinkwood - which I am fascinated by. Oh, and a slab.
I do have pictures of these (sorry Gary- I was a little proactive in organizing what you sent).
(I put the preforms in the bead box to organize them.)
So thank you Mel. That box is a great back to school treat...
