Well, this doesn't make up for the absence of Stoner. I'm a little too small to fit into his shoes!! ;D But here's a few new ones to look at. This is stone that was given to me by Rich at South Fork Mining. ![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/Joesart/SFM2529.jpg) These rocks were given to me by Shain. The ever popular Unknown agates! ![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/Joesart/Shain2535.jpg) Dino bone! This stuff is fun to work. It takes a good shine and dang it, it's fun!! ![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/Joesart/DinoBone2541.jpg) Rhodonite? Maybe. Correction! It's Peruvian Opal Cool, huh! It was in the box Shain sent. ![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/Joesart/Rhodonite2543.jpg) Don't know about this last one. Very soft material. Too soft. ![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/Joesart/Shain2544.jpg) Thanx for looking!

Great cabs Joe! I love that Dino Bone..man; that thing just stands out among them all. I like the rhodonite too. Great shape and I'm not a 'pink" guy, but that color on that cab is perfect. I'm enjoying seeing everyone's cabs. Steve

Awesome Joe, I love the dino and the peruvian opal, those are really something. That's another one I have never heard of, I love the pink color. It does look like Rhodonite.

Joe - from what I've been seeing...the pink peruvian opal is starting to be VERY popular. There's a blue P. opal that's been out for quite a while, but it's sooooo expensive! (one drilled & roughly faceted peice about the size of a quarter can cost easily $30 & up. The pink started showing up about 4 months ago in the mags. The ones you have are a real nice quality!

Thank you, thank you! The Opal was softer than a "normal" stone. Of course I didn't know it was Opal at the time. It was a pink scrap at the bottom of the box and I thought it was something else and... Oh well... It goes along with being a Space Cadet like I am! There are more pink chunks in that box I need to check!!
