Howdy folks,
Well, just went out and checked my mail and found a wonderful flat rater full of Rio Grande Agate that I won on an E-Bay auction put up by one of our vender-members, riverbendlapidary. Got to say it's really beautiful material! Twenty some odd pounds and all real solid river worn nodules of around fist size. Some brecciated material but mostly real fine moss. The real prizes were a teriffic hunk of fantastic gold moss ad a complete smooth nodule of wonderful red moss with orbs and swirls almost like poppy jasper. It's so darn pretty I'm gonna feel bad cutting it. Anyway he shipped fast at the flat rate and the material is way above average. I'll try a closeup pic of the poppy one and see if it can get it.....mel

mine are here! the weather is so horrid here i can't go get them but i just called hubby and asked him to please get them and bring them home with him. might be awhile though as the house he has been working on all day has had the windows blow out and water is coming in the walls now. that's just not good for new carpet . i keep watching for sands camper to fly by but so far so good . kim
