I was packing the box and I heard these little voices saying "We want to go for a ride too" so I said OK in you go. Besides what else would a rock nut use for packing, other than ROCKS. What I sent is just the tip of the iceberg/ rock pile

I think that it is called wonderstone. I don't know if will shine much. I got it from a guy who flint knapped. He said it was to hard to knap. Did you cab the blue tiger eye yet? I know you have only had it for a day but I am so curious on what you will make.

Hmmmm, definitely some neat slabs there. I've been missin' seeing your Cab-o-Johns, so now you have no excuse!
Is that one of the RV add-a-rooms you have all your rock stuff in? Great set up there, except looks to me like you just don't have any rocks to work with. ;D ;D ;D

Blue and white let me think, I sent a couple of slabs of sodalite, and there was a slab of indigo gabbro from madagascar.

yes that indigo and there was 3 taped together there on the far right in one of the pics theres a green piece with preforms marked out on it malachite i think -- but next to that theres a great blue and white piece the blue is so cool in it
the last pic the blue got washed out with the flash but its really nice color blue

llana that is a add a room and I'm surprised it lasted this long we get wind here acouple times a year over 60 mile an hr gusts and everybody told me when i got here and put it up thats not gonna last long haha i said well i paid over 700.00 for it so i hope it does -- its startin to show wear mostly the zippers (plastic) are startin to break the teeth cant take the sun if it had metal ones it would still be in great shape -- its been up constantly for over 3 years i been here in the sun -- my awning is about ready for new material but that was used when i got the RV so i cant complain about that but its startin to go

the one with the preforms marked on it is malachite and the pale green next to it is also malachite from copper mountain (California I think) and the one with the blue stripes on it I don't remember I will think of it later I know I got it on ebay some time ago I may look back and see if I can find it
