Hey Mark I got to the post office today buddy. Be on the lookout for a SFR box of Blue Dumertirite and some that looks greenish but is supposed to cab out blue green, or green blue! Its softer than agate or jasper. Do not use cerium oxide to polish, I did and got pinkish peach colore yuck in the pores and ruined my two cabs. When I get home I am gonna try Zam. Let me know how you like them.

Hey Mark I went hounding Tuesday with the club. We went to Brenda to get Pattiotic agate/jasper. Its red, white and blue. I got you a medium flat rate box full packed. I have to get to the post office with it. If you like the blue stuff let me know and I will put some more in a box when I get home. The post office only had large boxes and small ones. I went to Parker to get prescritions avWally Word and their post office had mediums. Going to Ca. next to get porcelin jasper. It rings and is real pretty with blac and red lines through it. I send you some if we get enough. Apparently this involves more walking and looking. Enjoy buddy and I hope the house is progressing good!

Geez, you are getting in quite a lot more rockhounding than I think I've done while I've been down here. I'm jealous but glad you are getting good stuff. May have to try to get a peek at some of that Brenda you got since I never have found any good patriotic stuff.

I met the one legged cowboy..had a great day running around in the desert. Nope didn't get any pictures of the trip or the rocks. We had a lot of wind and blowing dust but we braved it and have the rocks to prove it. He got some pictures so will probably post later. Bill is a great guy and if you get a chance to meet him don't miss out.
