no no no I’m not going to be a roady on the upcoming Rolling Stones tour I visited a natural stone shop today. Marble, travertine, granite ect… I was browsing the showroom looking at the counter tops & the salesperson approached: “I’m in the stone business also. Lapidary…” “What’s that?” was the reply. Perfect opportunity to show off my rock’n hearts Well the person gives me a tour! It’s a premium shop. Wow! I was really impressed with the CNC Shaper/Cutter. Especially the cutters. The 2 inch ½ round diamond cutters! ---If I can find any examples on the internet I’ll post them.--- The person also showed me some really nice multi-colored onyx. So I asked if she had a piece she be willing to part with? Well she looked & looked and this is what she gave me Unfortunately I didn’t ask what it was. I’m assuming its not onyx… probably marble. I'll try making a heart out of some of it and bring it to her. O I’d LIKE to!

Deeptime: These stone counter top firms usually have a big pile of offcuts they have to pay someone to haul away. Woody

Ed; Giving women hearts is bound to find you a keeper!!!! It is a very romantic notion, and one of these days the sparks are going to fly when you least expect it!!! Tony brought me a necklace on our first date, and the second date, and now look, he made me a rock nut!!!
