Got a box of rocks in the mail last week. Don't know how tinman got my address, but this'll keep me and my new saw busy.

Clockwise, from the plate upper left:
Botswana agates
Picasso marble
Butter stone from South Africa
Ocean jasper
Mexican crazy lace agate
Brazilian agates
Rainforest jasper from Australia (in the middle)

Dry

Wet

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
