I just found this site about cabochons from Turkey And got to wondering about how oblivious I have been in what filled those voids bedfore the agate entered. How have Zeolites helped form those wonderful Patterns? Something to think about. (for ED! mohs)

We'd have to clear out the Muslim nut-jobs first.

We'd have to clear out the Muslim nut-jobs first. I keep looking for that picture of you w/a hammer in attack mode. Still bust a rib thinking about it. Ole southern advise, never stop in for a beer at a concrete block bar in south Georgia. You notice how all their buildings are even stronger poured concrete. One is bullet proof, the latter is darn near bomb proof.

I have a tour guide. Need $4-5K to make it happen. Maybe a bit less.

Notice all the people just standing around?
That would not be put up with here. Why there? Fear? Agreement? None of my business?
