Impressive order! How did you receive it? By ship? It looks like having a completely different scale than the usual air mail boxes. That fancy bloodstone is my favorite and the amethyst has an amazing deep color.

Adrian, it arrived by ship last week, and I drove down to the customs shed and collected it Tuesday night/Wednesday.

Ooh, more pictures!! That's a nice haul! Be sure to take pics of ALL of the rocks once you get them settled. That amethyst looks like it'll make some sweet cabs!

Congrats on the nice haul!
What's a little pain when there are rocks like that to be had?
I particularly like the fortification agate and the amy!

Very cool - sorry about that finger though (it was only ONE right, not both little-fingers?).

Well, if this is a sampling, that is some pretty sweet stuff! I am sorry about your finger. Best brace it because you will not be able to resist going out and playing with the rocks again and you do not need to hurt it anymore. Now, once you get all this lovely rock sorted through, don't forget to snap a few pics of the lot of them. I think that would really be great! Fran

Holy smokes what a haul! Looks like incredibly high quality stuff. I love the dark Indian ammey and the fancy jasper which both look to be way nicer than the average run you see. The green tree looks to be way less vuggy than a lot you see for sale too and the Sultan's Ruby, man that is pricey stuff when you get quality that good so I'd say you really scored in that shipment for sure!.....Mel
