And finally, the one that arrived unbroken -- 1/2" thick and weighing 300 grams.   What would you do with a 1/2" thick slab? Specimen. Do you have a flat lap? Yes, but it's an 8", which means only good for rocks up to about 3.25" on their longest side. I have on order a huge Raytech vibratory tumbler that will probably be able to vibe tumbler it whole! |

It is really beautiful. |

The guy who sold me the slabs is far too kind and generous. He has now offered to send me these 6 slabs as free replacements (this time packaged in a box), while allowing me to keep the broken ones as well. I insisted that (1) he send me the slabs ASAP  and (2) I pay him $50 for them, what I paid for the first group.  Looks like I've got some more Biggs big 'uns coming my way. For all the crooks on Ebay, there are a lot of good people, too. |

You inadvertently made me hungry. Those slabs look like some kind of decadent chocolate dessert !!

Many of my rocks look like caramels, toffees, and other candy. They sit in a large glass dish on my desk :-) |
