Since I have been cabbing, I have been learning a lot of new rock names. I'll add one more to the list.

Nice job, Amy! Tom

It picks up the color in the stone perfectly. Beautiful Pendant. Tanya

That coil adds to the whole effect. The double swirls (meaning they are swirled twice instead of the usual once around) on the front are a nice touch too.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
