And so does his daughter. Thank you Cal and please thank your little one for me. Tell her I think she picked out the prettiest stones ever and did a wonderful job wrapping them all up.
I received this last week and I'm very sorry that I tooks so long to post my thank you. Hubby collected the box and put it in the basement where it's been waiting for me to drool over. ;D There's lots of pics and I apolgize in advance for not including something for scale.
Here's the lot of them.
Granite or Marble, one side is really shiny. 5" at the longest point, 2" on the narrow end, 1" deep.
Not sure, looks like Rose Quartz but I've never seen the black lines in it before so it's probably not. The others are like the biggest pieces of amethyst I've ever seen. A little bigger than golf balls.
This stuff is so pretty!! I'm assuming some kind of picture jasper but it's almost a very dark rose to maroon color.
A big chunk of agate with a very blue tinge to it. This block is like 4" x 4" x 3".
Close up trying to show the blue.
Next two pics are Blue Lace Agate, check out those blue lines. I'm going to be so careful cutting this, it's a bout 3" long and I don't want to waste any of it. The pics don't do justice to the color, it's a lot bluer that it looks here.
I'm thinking Flint Ridge Flint, at least it seems very similar to the other stuff I had. Check out the color in that bottom piece. These things are just sreaming ... saw me, saw me. ;D
This is the side view of the one with the arrow pointing at it in the pic above. The color is really pretty.
Thank you again Cal, you are so generous and it is so much appreciated. And again, I'm so sorry for the delay in posting.
