Did a box of rock trade with textiger, wow is all I can say!! He sent some great Pet wood and llanite. I don't know how on earth he got that much in a flat rate box!! I can't for the life of me figure out how the box stayed together, man there were a bunch of rocks in there!! Enough, so I got the LOOK OF DEATH from my mail carrier when she put the box in my over sized mail box. She was not a happy camper! So a BIG thumbs UP to textiger as a rock trader and for proving that cardboard boxes can handle enormous amounts of rocks with out exploding!!! Thanks much, Matt!!

Glad you got 'em, Bill. Hope you like 'em. I can't wait for the box o' petoskeys and other goodies to arrive. Hell, I'm already excited and raring to go.

Back at you, Bill. Got the box of rox from T.C. Michigan and what a bunch of beauts! The petoskeys are too cool. Can't wait to start polishing them. Bill included a petoskey slab--never saw that before -- and a nice piece of snowflake obsidian, a terrific block of georgia queen picture jasper and a great hunk of crazy lace. Now I have to get a saw!
Love this hobby and the people in it!

*LOL* My postal carrier is starting to really shoot me some black looks too. Also really starting to kind of throw the boxes around and I'm seeing more damage to the boxes. Last ones just got dropped off at the foot of my driveway and had just about burst their seams! Don't know how long this flat rate box thingee is gonna last but it sure is great. Last box I sent out, the gal in the PO said the postage would have been $32 if not for the flat rate! Seem to shoot clear across the country in only about three days too. For $7.70 this trading is a whole lot of fun though. That's for sure!....mel
