Here are a few eggs that jpolk send me as part of a rock trade we made.
 Two of them are doubles, and the other two are about tennis ball sized. It sure would be nice to know what kind of eggs they are, and where they are from before cutting them. Can anyone help me?

Ok, Denise got a couple close up's of the last pictured in webcam shot two posts back (lower 2) for everyone to see better details.
First is the half egg that will be polished on the lap. OOOO LA LA.......Great pic honey!  Then this guitar pick was made from the single slice saved off the busted knub end.....  Neat bands and oh look....it has a druzy pocket and so does the halfer'! More pics/updates to follow soon.......Enjoy. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
