I asked Hans if he could sign a book for me and he emailed back that would be no problem. I have thoroughly enjoyed the thread on OR picture jaspers and have become hooked on them. So many neat scenes to discover with each cut.

It's not hard to get hooked on picture jaspers. Especially those from the Owyhee's. I've run out of space to display polished slabs, so I'm going to cut a large cab out of the best portion of each slab I have.

Mike, mamma would have a fit if I covered a wall with framed picture jaspers. As it is, I may have to box up my Fairburns for a while, so I can make room to display cabbed picture jaspers. I seriously need to add a room to the house just for my rocks, minerals & fossils. |

Hans told me that some of the rocks in his new book came from my booth in Quartzsite.
Looking forward to seeing it.

I don't have the other book. :-( I bought his first book a few months ago. Kind of spendy, but oh well. Can't wait to see the updates in his new book. |

I'll have to look & hope I didn't already delete that info Bob. All I remember is a new hardback was hard to find & more than I wanted to pay, but I did it anyway.
