About a month ago, Bill sent me a pm asking for my address. He said he noticed I'm an Agate Licker and said he had a few Agates that I may enjoy licking. Well...a week ago...a envelope from Australia arrived at my house. It was packed with a whole bunch of Aussie Goodness.
The contents and a very KIND Letter!

Not only did Bill know I am an Agate Licker...I guess he must've figured I might want to taste some other Aussie Stuff, like Opals and Gemstones! I must say I was a little FLOORED when I opened the envelope and even more so when I saw what was included.
Some Queenie Halves!

Some Queenie Slabs

One of many gorgeous pieces of Opal

Also included was a faceted Zircon and Garnet.
Thanks so Much Bill for YOUR GENEROSITY, KINDNESS, and FRIENDSHIP! I sincerely appreciate it!
steve

	Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.
