Howdy folks, Well, I'm starting to unload some of the broken milk crates so here's the first taste of some of the more interesting material I'm digging out. Thanks for lookin....Mel First off Mexican Crazy lace the way it used to be back in the sixties. Red lace and bubble ( dogtooth lace) the dogtooth is a psuedomorph after dogtooth calcite.  Pink lace  Orange lace. I guess this might be termed laguna lace.  Another colorful lace. This one is much prettier than the pic i n person  One of my favorite lace types with lots of eyes and sagenite.  Found a half dozen pieces of this Parral dendritic Agate  Also found a few pieces of Durango Moss. A fellow used to bring piles of this to Snyders but most were monster boulders.  |

Steve: Licking rocks always gets me in the holiday mood *S*. I'm amazed at some of the stuff I'm finding that I had totally forgotten about. I just cracked open a crate of stuff I got from Kim (rockyraccoon) years ago.She was always so generous with her trades or her sales. Found a monster boulder of blue swirlstone, another of an increddible green and red brecciated jasper I think she called flame jasper, and huge hunk of dendritic Vogesite that's unreal. Also found some incredible mookite too. It sure is fun to reorganize a collection....Mel
