I was going through my Burro Creek flat rater last night and wanted to make a few comments and show a few photos. Although the Burro Creek material is not real flashy like say the Woodward material.......it is very beautiful in its own right. While examining some of it last night I was noticing that although some are good cutters, others will make excellent specimens. Here are a few of my favorites: This was a LARGE piece that nearly covered the whole top of my flat rater. It is filled with druzy, which I love. And a closeup: This one I call my Egyptian Hieroglyphic: I am assuming that it is erosion that caused the patterns. Either that or aliens brought it. Hurry Doc! Go get your foil hat! This one has a neat surface: And with the peachy/pink colors, this one will be a nice cutter: Thanks for looking, Shannon

Curt, That large blue druzy piece is now sitting happily next to the black druzy wood that you sent me. Shannon

Those look great. I really like the first one. That would be cool to put in a front entry way or as a focal point in a room. It looks kinda like a big stone blossom.

Wow cool stuff. I really like the Egyptian Hieroglyphic, very different. All my box had was the word "Jerk" written on the lid. LOL

Nice box of fun! I like that druzy one a lot. There was so many different types up there it's amazing. I like the peachy one too. Gosh I hope I got one of those in the ones I brought back. Steve
