SPOCAHP ANAR

Thanks for excepting the friendship request. I gotta get going on some work. see you arounds the forums.

Hey, what the heck is up? I hope you have seen my recent rock pics..I dont want to spam you with pics..maybe ill email em to you..
Oh and hey ! Hope all is well..

Sounds great to me. Since I last posted Ive gotten the mag and other accessories I ordered. Saving up for a custom set of wood grips I saw recently. I noticed you were into rocks. Many years ago I used to live in Idaho (went to college there actually) and I used to make jewlery from agates and other stones I used to find. Haven't done it for decades and no longer have the equipment I used to have but it was fun.

I just baught A CZ-82 this past week. B4 I did, I trolled through a few forums to get the feel of what people thought of this gun. I saw a rather old post of yours and noticed that you were from the upstate of SC. I am living in Anderson, SC. Been here almost 20 yrs now. BTW, I love this gun. The feel, the weight, shooting it, pretty much everything. I've ordered another mag, speed loader and a new holster. Chat with you later sir.

I've been told that I have peculiar tastes! *LOL* There is something about the forms of crystals that has always intrigued me. Event though I didn't do all that well in crystalography, I enjoyed the course.

There probably are crynoid segments in that specimen. They are found scattered throughout the limestone. You got the right one for the trilobite fragments from the black Hills. They are hard to identify, but that is what they are. I have a chunk that does have some clearly identifyable pieces. I find the various Spirifers to be very interesting myself. The two most common ones in that strata are Paraspirifer and Mucrospirifer. I'm glad you are happy with the package. I've had time to look over the rest of the specimens that you sent. The irridescent minerals are fascinating. I've got a few nice samples of specular hematite and magnetite that I found at a quartz mine in Canada. Those will make a great addition to my "iron oxide" collection. And the Lazulite is really fantastic. I love the color. I'm glad I contacted you. This has been a very worthwhile exchange. Thanks again.

The package arrived this afternoon. Haven't had time to look at everything yet, but the lazulite and blue quartz are interesting to say the least. Thanks.

It been so long since I packed the stuff, I can't remember (you know' the first thing to go') There is a complete Phacops, some trilobite fragments from the Black Hills (cambrian age) Some spirifer and other Brachiopods. Its a small box, so I'm not worried about you shorting me. Its more likely the other way around. There is a description in the box of what the samples are. BTW, most Phacops Rana curled up when they died. Nobody seems to know why. All but one that I've ever seen have been curled!

Yup! I sent them out friday too. The clerck laughed when I told her it was just a bunch of rocks! When you think about it, it is kind of funny.

I'll get your package out tomorrow. Thanks.
