Got this box of Beautiful stuff yesterday from Agatemaggot. (Thanks Harley)!! Beautiful stones, a couple (upper right) are pet wood but the rest is a mystery to me. The two dark ones (bottom right) are transparent, the square one is a smokey quartz (I think) and almost clear in a backlight. Then we have this wonderful little box of polished fossil. Sorry for the bad pix, I can't seem to master taking good photos. ty for looking. and did I say thanks again to Harley.

Two of those were meant to be cabs, the rest were really filler in the vibro and looked like they could possibly be wire wrapped and finish up looking like we planned the whole thing !
Thanks again for the Green Flint !

I bought a bunch of sharks teeth and other goodies from an antiquites dealer and there were quite a few of the agatized Ammonites in the batch. Some were small enough to wire wrap and thought granpaw might like to try his hand at one. I have seen several on E-Bay and they look rather Smurffy !
