Errrrrr, i don't think that's up to me to say! I think they look generous in the extreme, marvelous and interesting! But not as magnificent as they do in real life. The Mammites needs a bit of prepping, but the substrate chips off quite easily. It's a good specimen. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! I think this is part of the fun when you have a tracking number. Seeing where the parcel is at any one time and watching it go round in circles! 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

I have something coming from the Ukraine and from what I can decipher, it looks like it came to the US and came back to them. Of course I could be reading it wrong, but it seems that way.

No- I always send a copy of the receipt with the tracking number on it, I want the receiver to see that I did send it and I also have it alert me when the item was delivered. I am like a little kid when sending or receiving- I want to know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the rock is not that wide all the way through, though. So there'll be some smaller slices? How many do you think you'll get out of it? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

But I'll bet that I can get five or six more nice slices out of it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
