What a gift of rocks from Tela E`madonaa ! <amazed smilie> Italian for beautiful lady & total blown awayness There a bit of everything! At least 25 rock’n slabs: sonoran, cuperite, rose quartz, coral, honeycomb calcite, dino, lavarkarite, Pudding, wood, some kind of killer black w/bluish chalcedony agate banding, gemmy chryschoola, & roan leopard marbles .. on and on... And the envelope marked Merry Christmas Laid on top of the rocks First Thing! A rockhouse in a fine setting. That means so much to me!! Way Way generous Tela So glad I double checked my mailbox last night. Double glad I waited till the bright sunny morn to open it. The rocks shine and you made a bright day in Phoenix !! Thank YOU

What a great Christmas present Ed! Kudos Tela! Like Tela said, I hope to see some Rockin' New Years Hearts from that stunning material. I see some kabamba jasper down in the corner there...I've had my eye on that stuff for awhile and I just got a slab of that myself. Whoot Whoot!

That may have been some zebra agate from Mexico, but I'm not sure. Made a fine heart, though.

Glad you got those pretty slabs out of the mailbox before porch pirates found them. Hey Rick I saw the mailman the next day. I had to ask if he did a late delivery. Yes he did. He told me it very rare. He came by about 7 p.m. So in one sense that was good to hear. No porch He also told me that as a general rule that the post office as until 9 p.m. to deliver If a expected post hasn't arrived by then- start panicking ha
