"Nancyid" was selling some "small FRBs", so I figured, no problem - that can't hold a lot, so I won't have trouble trying to find a place to store it, so I ordered one. Well, it came today, and boy, could I have ever been more wrong! When I opened it up, HOLY CRAP!!!![/u][/i][/b] This is what came out: What a collection of totally gorgeous slabs! Thank you, Nancy, thank you, thank you. Tom (PS - I'm thinking of you daily, and wishing you bonne chance on Monday!)

You guys! I am so very happy you are happy!!! ;D I aim to please. Might not get it right everytime but hey! Yup, it is so cool you like'um. Hope the others do too. More where that came from, lol.
Thanks Tom for your constant good thoughts. Yup, Monday is the day. Yuck. "Look Ma, no boobs"! Total "lopectomy". That might hurt, ouch. Hey, I get a night in the hospital . . .a vacation! Haven't spent a night in the hospital since 1971 . . .thats when I was born. Okay, can't lie. My kid was born ;D

I forgot to add in my post at the top, that picture was taken with the slabs DRY! I have yet to wet them to see the true colors - I'm just so taken by the dry colors, I guess I don't need to see them wet! Except, of course, for the drool drops I got on them!

I never, ever thought I would get so excited waiting for a box of rocks to arrive in the mail. It was fun getting tools from the Rock Shed, wire from Rio Grande, and a dop station and Ameritool flat lap from JS Gems. The slabs I received look just like those pictured above. BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, Nancy, for helping to get me started in this wonderful, fun hobby! Now all I have to do is learn how to slab, cab and wire wrap! You are on my prayer list. Good luck on Monday. Zip
