That little sweetie Woodyrock was so happy he won my V-day contest he wanted to deliver roses to me, but being that it was V-day the price was outrageous, so he sent something much better.....SLABS that last forever!!! This is such a great bunch I wish the photos were better, but I tried to give an overview of the material! Really neat stuff, I can't wait to cab!!! Thanks to the US Postal Serivce, I had a jigsaw puzzle to solve as well! Thank you so much Woody, I really love these slabs!!! And most of all having made a new friend! The whole bunch Clockwise Davis Creek Mahogny Obsidian, Cady Mtn, Teanaway Nephrite, Cardic Mtn, Toutle Jaspers, Maury Mtn, Vantage, Wa Toutle, is both a town, and river near Mount Saint Helens. The material came from a feeder strean of the Toutle river. The same place as the material I found yesterday. Teanaway is an area in Washington as well as a river. The blue/green material is almost always found in the river. The darker material is actually a blend nephrite material. The light green is nephrite/actinolite (green/buff), and polishes very nicely. The bluey material is usually only found in big pieces i.e. a hundred pound piece is SMALL. We know where there are car, and larger sized pieces! Mt. St. Helens, WA Top Row: Beaver Valley/Bottom-Saddle Mtn Toutle Nephrites-- A dark and light variety! Tahoma, Libery Moss Agate, Stony Creek Jasper Woody is a great source of information, and I appreciate all the help he has given me! Amber

Yet another Box of V-day Goodies! I think these rocks are much better than chocolates, flowers, or anything else Valentine related! You should have plenty of material to keep you busy on those new nova wheels. Steve

Looks like some great material. I can't wait to get the box I won from him in his PIF auction. Your last set of cabs was so good that I expect your next batch will be even better considering this top notch material. I'm sure it was way better than whatever your boy friend got you. ;D lol

Looks like Woody really set you up! That is a beautiful batch of slabs and lets face it. Flowers fade but a box of slabs just keeps giving! Fran
