It came today! As you can see, I could not resist the temtation, so the box was opened, and inside there is petrified coral, chert, some heat treated coral, a slab, a beautiful cab of pet coral, and RIPE Florida oranges! How those oranges survived the post mixed in with rocks I know not, but they did, and wow! are they sweet. What a treat. I thank thee Jcinpc! The ripped open FRB

A combination of agatized coral, a beautiful coral cab, and oranges. I have an idea of where this may have been sent from. Very nice!
Darryl.

I did some research on ya and saw you like to knap so I included some local chert that can be knapped raw and some cooked coral for the same. The slab you can cut into a preform to pressure flake a nice little point. I didnt know if you did percussioin flaking or slabbed and pressure flaking. The oranges are navel and picked from my friends tree, I would have put tangerines in but my tree died

it is sad aint it Jason, in shorts right now and had the windows open last night. I did get the coats and jackets out of the closet and cleaned in case it gets into the 50`s-60`s.
I like to use the orange juice to marinate my deer meat . Gonna cook that tonight The cubans down here in Fl use alot of sour oranges for the same on their pork they cook.

LMAO - Yeah I had my window open last night as well, but when I woke up my hair was white, frosty and stiff! j/k! Let's see today's high was 38? and tonight were dropping into the high teens or low 20's and this weekend their talking snow for the area. Maybe I'll send ya a box of cold air or snow packed in dry ice so you can see what it really is with the next rocks I send ya lol....when you open it, you might get at least goose bumps ;D
