OMG Those are freakin unbelieveable! Have
you been to the rock store again? *smile* Did you get any
of those? I thought all Ocean Jasper was dotted but some
of that looks like it's solid color, unless maybe the spots are
similar color. Soooooooo cool!

Nice pics, thanks!!

How does your credit survive a trip to this shop? You must have an iron will. If not, you have a lotta nice rocks there!! Joe

Sweet Ginger Brown-

I'm suprised your pictures were in such good focus and not blurry. I would've been shaking like a wet kitty in a hurricane!!!!!

I love that stuff, especially the huge greenish/bluish/redish one.

We are all like that ugly rock stuck in the dirt and mud. Capable of being picked up, tossed around, beaten, then gloriously shined to perfection!

First of all, for a 60lb chunk, you would need around $1,500.00 in your pocket to walk away with it. So all I walked away with was a 5lb chunk. Can you beleive all of that stuff is sitting outside in bins, with no fences or anything?
Chassroc, I found them alright, at the Gem Shop. I won't show you the pic. of me laying on them and rubbing them, kissing them, ect.
Gaetzchamp, I used a tripod because of the fact that I was shaking and trembling.
Joe, I don't have an iron will, the wife won't let me drive her Blazer up there, she said we can only go if we take the Jaguar, cuz it's a 2 seater, and then we must make room for her wine from up there, well that didn't work for her cuz, I took the spare tire outta the trunk along with the tools to make room. Then she said we can only go if we ride the Fat Boy, so I orderd 2 of the biggest side bags I could find, I can pack about 40lbs of rock in each bag, then I told her she was gonna wear a backpack for me.

You should have used your credit card and tell them to send the rocks, that way your wife could have had a lot more wine bottles without the use of the backpack....you meenee ahum
