Sheri (Rockhobbit) and I were paired in the gift exchange and I received her package today. She is good at cabbing, lemme tell you!!! In the FRB was: the adorable little bear, a coffee/tea mug, a gorgeous wire-wrapped cab (not sure what the stone is but I just tumbled some like it so if I find out, I'll know the answer to two mysteries!), a card full of beautiful cabochons and a bag of (agate?) rough that I'm dying to get into. Pictures: I didn't take pics of what I sent her but she had told me she liked rocks with scenes in them. I bezel set a Moonstone Beach jasper(?) rock as sterling pendant on a tigereye necklace, and I picked out several pretty slabs from Tony/catmandewe, a piece of pet wood, and an entire day's collecting from Moonstone Beach, CA including jades, chert, agate, jasper, and probably some serpentine - hopefully the big pieces turn out to be jades! Anyway, thank you again to Rockhobbit for the wonderful package!!! Merry Christmas everyone, Nancy

WOW, great haul! Sheri's such a sweetie!
The cab in the wrap looks like azurite in quartz. Plus, judging by the chrysocolla cabs, my guess would be that Sheri's been really enjoying a mix of material from Rodney and Jamie.
