Zounds, I am in awe . . .

Thanks! It's difficult to find a stone of good quality and decent size. If anyone knows a source for good quality stones, please let me know. Specifically, I am interested in lapis lazuli and pietersite. Given the current situation with mammoth ivory, I started to look for some alternatives.

Glad you did. That's magnificent.
