Wow ~ You done good girlie! That fancy jasper looks a lot
like some of the agate stuff that Gaetz sent me. I'm really
curious, why do they call bloodstone that when it loosk
greenish black? 3rd pic down you just have "Picture" ...
Picture of what? *smile* Can'ta wait to see what the purple
lace looks like when you get it polished, just sounds pretty.
You're going to be busy now, got any rolling yet?

That is the great thing about the way I got the rocks I got to pick and choose. The bloodstone was in a box labeled Fancy Jasper. Because of the 75% off sale they were having I got it for $1.00 a pound. As for the Bloodstone there are several stories be hind it, one of them is "Early Christian legends held that the red spots were freom Jesu's blood that fell on a piece of jasper at the foot of the cross." www.4facets.com/birthstones.html#bloodstoneThis site has some other interesting facts.

Hi Tami
The Iceburg rocks remind me of the colors in the glaciers that I saw up in Alaska! The Aurora reminds me of Colorado mountains. Where did you purchase them from? Thanks much!

Ebersole's in Wichita, KS. They do, do mail order. Phone number 1-877-323-7765. Just call them and ask them for those particular stones. If they have any left they will send it to you.
