I've been a naughty boy. I just bought 9 more thumbnail specimens. Good thing mama wasn't home to catch me. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.

Yeh, but after cashing in my ebay bucks I only paid $45.60 for it. Next time I get a bunch of ebay bucks saved up, I'll buy another.

When you buy off ebay, you earn them. A percentage of each ebay buy. It ain't much on most buys, but it all adds up. You may have to sign up for it. Google ebay bucks.
When you go to your ebay page, in the Summary section on the left, there will be a line for ebay bucks. The amount you've earned will be to the right of that line.

Just go here. pages.ebay.com/help/buy/ebay-bucks.html Scrole down to where it says "How to Sign Up" Click the blue link and you're on your way. I should warn you, you'll start getting ebay offers in your in box that you don't want. They're easy enough to ignore and delete. |

Lemme guess, this is the keeper  \ Still a nice gift and one that keeps on giving if you pass them on. |

No, the flourite is the keeper. I didn't have a specimen from that location.

Nope. As a matter of fact, that was one of the freebies.

Well... no matter. I truly dig the Autunite. Gorgeous colors and shape. LOL. Since it's radioactive, I've been considering grinding it into a powder and making a batch of chocolate chip cookies to share with a couple "friends". BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAA HA !! |

WOO HOO !! Still no bids on the 6 specimens I'm watching. I may be able to get them cheap.
Hey Scott, I didn't make that comment about radioactive cookies. Forget you read that. LOL. Got to thinking last night. In one of my tool boxes I have a large envelope with a sheet of lead foil. It's left over material from an acid etching job I did for a guy years ago. As soon as I find it I'm gonna bend up a small lead box to store that perky box in. Probably overkill as the perky box itself is probably all of the shielding needed, but it will make mama feel safer.
