Hello, everyone! Yesterday I went to the post office, to pick a small box. It was filled with slabs, which I found out to be a house-warming gift from far away, from some members here. Take a look at the slabs, pictured in sunlight on the entrance of the house: The one in the top left looks like polka dot, but not sure about it That white rock with fortifications - ain't it fantastic? It looks like crazy lace but I'm not sure. And there's some more: Look at this cool dark green dino bone! It's the first time when I see such color on a dino bone. And the agate looks so good, almost pictural. And, keeping the green theme, here are an amazonite and an unknown, but nicely colored rock: All the slabs are solid and beautiful. Thank you very much Scott and Jim! I am glad I have some new rocks, but most of all I am glad I have friends far away, who think of me and send me gifts that I enjoy. It's very, very much appreciated! Thank you everyone for looking, Adrian

I am so happy that you got them and it was fun reading about your thoughts as you passed from one to the other.
Third photo upper left and lower right are Wyoming stone. I do not have a name. Fifth photo on the left is carnelian but I do not know where it came from. Same photo on the right is a slab that I cut from rough that was given to me by (damn) I can not remember. If I do remember I will come back and give him credit. Last photo left is another Wyoming stone that I do not know what it is. I would guess it is some kind of mineral that is not very common. I have only found the one piece.
You are very welcome. It was a pleasure to put a smile on the face of a friend. Jim
