This is just amazing, totally cool and not to mention, pretty doggone neat too. Thank you so much, you sure brightened up my day. There was one little tiny hole, about the size of my finger in the envelope and a couple pieces cracked but not too small that they won't work just fine. You did a good job taping it up *smile*.

Check out these slabs, totally awesome patterns in some of them. I tried so hard to get pics of the moss agate, it's just gorgeous but the pics looked like poo.

Are the blue ones on the bottom blue quartz or sodalite?

Ocean Jasper, Aquamarine, and Larimar (sp)

And my last little load out of polish.

Thank you so very very much!

I'm gonna polish them and make 'em perty and shiney. *smile* I'm hoping there's something in my dremel stuff I can use to make grooves in the slabs with so I can try and break them with a chisel. I've broken other slabs by dropping them on the cement but you end up with a lot of small pieces that way.

Worth a try. Should be easier and quicker than Dremel. Rich

Definitely worth a try, thanks Rich.
