Wow, love looking at all the different patterns in those rocks! I have a slow dial up connection but each picture was differently worth the wait.
No way can I pick a favorite. Maybe the red spot breccia or the green jasper, but I sure I'll find some different favorites each time I look back over the pictures.

Oooooo yeah, what Doc said. There's some awesome stuff there Kim. I think my favorite is the red spot breccia, or maybe the mugglestone, or the blue swirlstone. *smile* That mugglestone sure looks like a cross cut of a couple of pieces that I got from KD, but that was called something jasper, can't remember now. DOH! Maybe KD can if she passes through.

I wish the video card on my computer hadn't gone out. Can't see the colors, but love the pattern in the green jasper...  Susan |

I agree w/ doc and cher but my fav is the mugglestone - it reminds me of the sand and water things they use to sell in the malls, where the different color sand, you could make different pics/landscapes. Once again I'm reminded that I need a saw.
Thanks for the pics,
Robert

Man, the beautiful stuff I get exposed to on this board! That mugglestone looks just like the style of artist Edvard Munch (compare with the his famous painting "The Scream"). Incredible.
