Great batch!~ I particularly like the covellites and the Bonsai but they're all great. Wish I could score some covellite rough -- I hadn't realized how pretty it is until I saw your images.

I got some from catmandewe Tony. It really is pretty awesome in person. I have a few with a lot of the magenta fire that blows your mind!

gemfeller - here are some saw scraps I'm saving to send to a customer. She's a collector. These have been oxidized. Once it's cut and polished, you don't see as much color until it oxidizes again. At least that's my understanding.

Awesome cabs, Tela rockjunquie ! Too many favorites, but the Bonsai, the Covellites and that bullseye Bruno are killer. Fabulous batch.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I don't just like it- I love it. Looking forward to doing more, but I think that was the best one I had.
