So vitamin C stands for calcium then? When it comes to hardest material without considering Mohs; it would be opal. I managed to mess up all of them, be it Koroit, boulder, hydrophanes, chocolate or Spencer. No avail, I don't seem to do any opal, save ordinary common opal any justice.

Sweet tumble, James. great structure showing on those, I like to imagine the little arms gleaning food so long ago, Agatized fossils are the best rocks.

I chew them into small pieces Donnie to prepare for tumbling. Lots of vitamin C and S(silica). Rough on the crowns though. Sort of a shrimp flavor. Jerk spice does best. Sharp edges also rough on the digestive tract. Too much jerk spice will set the woods on fire, a caution.[/quote]

H.W. junior went to Montana and and nearly killed himself. I guess we southerners are mere hillbillies and you Montana dudes are mountaineers Bill... "On August 8, 1975, Williams was nearly killed in a mountain-climbing accident. While he was climbing Ajax Peak in Montana, the snow beneath him collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet onto rock. He suffered multiple skull and facial fractures.[8]To hide the scars and the disfigurement from the accident, Williams grew a beard and began wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat. The beard, hat, and sunglasses have since become his signature look, and he is rarely seen without them."
