Well this weekend was the Boise Gem Clubs annual gems show. I of course attended both days which my wife gave me grief for paying admission for both days. Well at about 4:30 this afternoon I get a phone call from the club president telling me that I won a drawing, I though that it was for a sphere that I purchased raffle tickets for. When I ask if it was for the sphere she said no I won the Grand Door Prize for this years show a 19 inch Cathedral Amethyst Geode that weighs about 60 lb. I about s***t my pants when I saw it sitting on the table. So I feel that the $6 that I paid for admission for both days was well worth the investment. Also the amethyst has to be some of the darkest I have seen in one of these geodes. Here is the geode: Jason

I just about s**t myself when I saw the photo of it! I would have if I won it! Great score! Definately worth the price of admission.
