I think you need some more rocks, Tex. Yep. After I get michiganpebblers box off here this week, I’ll start working on one for you. Shoot me a PM sometime with your info. texhexBelieve it or not, I got your box off today! Since I was already going to the post office to get michiganpebbler box out I threw yours together quickly last night. I’m not sending you any local rock because you live around here and will surely find plenty. I’m sending you a selection of agates, quartz, jaspers etc that Ive purchased overtime. Should make for some interesting clean outs over the next couple of months. I made sure to include a couple of small prairie agates, and also one of those blue bell or blue boy… whatever the hell they whatever the hell they’re called, thunder eggs. E Everything is labeled except for a few loose rocks at Briana at the last minute. The smaller loose rocks are from a Washington state beach and the larger loose rock is one of the special local Agates i like to collect, the ones that look like a banded chert but turn into an agate like material as they are tumbled. That particular ones benen couple of course stages. Thank you very much. I wrote you a PM in response to this appreciated act of kindness. The way you described the surprise box makes me feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I will definitely keep you updated on the journey of the rocks by sending posts and messages of the process and results. Tex

It just feels good… it’s contagious. I can live vicariously through stuff like this. I can’t wait till you get the box and I can’t wait to see them tumbling down the line lol. Let me know what your wife thinks also. My wife’s real involved with me in the Hobby. The kid too so whole family thing.
