I'm in a little bit of a hurry today but when I get a chance I'll post some photos with the sun shining through. They're wonderful! Forget about that other barrel with those silly blue aventurines. The orange stuff is the real deal that takes a great polish. I hope you guys can see this. I only had time to grab a quick twitpic but I was too excited to wait to post.

excellent ! Looks like some solid hard stones that took a killer polish. Well shaped too.

OK so it turns out it's kinda awkward for me to hold up one of the stones to the sunlight to take a photo because I ground my fingernails off with the cabber and now I think my hands look funny in the photos. But here's a bigger photo of the stones: Maybe I can try to photo them on the light table later so you can get a better idea. In person they're great!

Thanks for sharing
