That was mighty nice of you Adrian. That last one is such a nice shade of green! I like the moss just above the last one too.

I'm loving the green one. Do they have leprechauns in Romania?

Hey, Dave, you forgot the first picture: the lady from your post office handling you the pack ;D OK, let me give you some explanations about those rocks. And since most of you enjoy the last one, I'll begin by telling you it's LIZARDITE. It's local (from south-western Romania). That slab was a little bigger, but it had a crack through it. I thought Dave would like it, bearing in mind the resemblance between that rock and the jade. I'm glad too knowing that my remaining slab has a siamese brother overseas, and the separation surgery seemed to be a success . Now about the second one, it's the other half of this rock I've posted a while ago. Go polish it, Dave, not only the agate will take a good polish but also the matrix. Here's my half: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&thread=1177777192The third one is an agate + quartz that I didn't polish yet. The fourth one Is a piece of another rock I posted here. It's the second rock (moss agate) in that post: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&thread=1179938067I'm glad you like them, Dave. Thanks for hosting my photos in your post and thanks everyone for looking and for the nice words. KD, don't worry, I rubbed them with garlic (Dave, did you feel the smell?) and I also stabbed them with a sharp wood (pet wood, of course ;D) Adrian

From what I see on this board the world needs to trade in rocks. The friendship goes all over the place. There is more giving on this board then I have ever seen. People are giving and not expecting anything back. A person has to watch what they say or they will be the recipient of something good. AMAZING!....MrP
