It was nice just to take these out of the box and check em out..has been a while since I looked at most of these. I have my eye on one for lots of $$ and want to buy but also have too many. I plan on getting rid of the ones not too valuable and keep about 10-20 stones in total. I have already learned more about them since last night than over last few years. I have been checking out other posts and great info here. I am hoping to one day be able to recognize a stone type and even region it came from just by looking/touching and not need the box it came in..
