Well, I’m looking forward to seeing the results of that! You did good job with the Dino bone in your recent set.

And thanks.

Thank you my friend.

It'll wait until I'm feeling quite retrospective...like Jurassic-type retrospective.

There are days when I feel quite Jurassic.

Chinese rain flower agate (aka Yuhashi or Yuhua stones):

I love these. They are from the the Yangtze River. Some almost resemble Lakers, others look more like Botswanas. This will stay as is. I bought three of these, maybe 10 years ago.

Gorgeous! First glance at it and I was thinking "Laker!" also!

I love that type of fortification pattern...it seems "elongated" as compared to a Crazy Lace, or Fairburn type fortification pattern. I love the orb type spots on the one side of this as well. (I know it's a sphere and there is no "side"...other than inside and outside! LOL)

Actually, these tend to be rather flat, and would make excellent skipping stones.
