Rocks From Oz

[vanursepaul]

Hello Everyone,

I asked permission from my friend Norvic to post some pictures of some species and other gems that he had sent to me out of the kindness of his heart.

I hope i got the pictures focused properly and you can see some of the detail a few of these have. The piece of native copper is my favorite i think.... what is yours?

Vic told me i could clean the copper piece up and put a coat of poly on it---but i am hesitant to do that--- i really like it as is....if you can zoom in well enough on my picture you and get a good look at the patina.

How about it,,, ? ---What do you all think, Should i clean it or leave her alone??? Vic say it really looks good all clean and shiny too----- but......... i love that color patina....

I would never have picked up the other things like agates and zircons---need to learn a little more on gemstones---maybe i could actually read that field guide in my truck console instead of just carrying it around!!!

 BTW, My heart seem to be doing great---way more energy than before---and I am almost sure that I am much more handsome than i used to be...... hahahaha

Anyway, I hope you all are well...

NIce samples.

 

Try putting the gemstones in water, the colours will really come out.

 

Glad you are feeling better, Paul!

Paul,

 

What did you promise to get that booty?

 

I hope you paid more than just the postage.

 

Remember everyone, we are hard on Paul because he is hard on himself too.    He keeps wanting more and more ...

  Thanks NORVIC for taking care of a pretty good guy. My guess is that the value of those treasures will come back X 10.

All are beauties - Coppers cool but agates and gold are the best to me - way to go Norvic and glad your well Paul.

Back a bit I followed, Professor Hestor and watched how you folks and Paul helped get him detecting, then a later thread we were discussing the weight of the GPZ and I commented that I was having trouble with right arm & shoulder, next a hipstick turns up in the post compliments of Paul. Well that got me thinking, what can I do for Paul, not about paying back a debt or anything like that. I reckoned a few samples from OZ would "hit the spot" and give me a lot of pleasure as well.

 

Paul you are real "true blue", I wont try to explain that OZ saying, John Williamson (OZ C&W singer) does that in his song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cohkaLM3AjQ

 

Camp spot here anytime, chuck a prawn on the barbie have a  xxxx or Fosters, bugger all Shielas, but plenty of kangaroos and wallabies.
