The pics speak for themselves.

That is so beautiful, I have a 3' foot tall bear statue that would look good right next to it. Heck I'd even move some shelves to put it in the corner for accent lighting

Your funny as heck Redpaw................
Nice decor in that room. It would go great there.

Thank you Denise,

That is my War Room where I contemplate the next course of action.

dont let bush see this room dave! hes looking for all of those wepons of mass destruction!

Do you know if they sell any of the broken chunks that happen when they mine? I'm looking for some pieces I can practice carving on.....

Do they have a website or anything?

Thanks!

Hi Phil,
Welcome to the CP forums.
We do have a friend who mines out large smikey quartz crystals.
He might be able to help you.

Denise

REDPAW, remind me not to make you angry............ LOL

Hey, I'm not a mean guy....I thought everyone had a war room in their house.

Thanks!

Send me your address Phil, and maybe I can help you out a little.

Denise

Check your mail.... thanks!

I have a bunch of pieces from the last time the family and I were at a friends claim. I'll send some your way.
I have a soft spot in my heart for artists. I would love to see pics of your work.

Denise

If. when I get some carved the way I want to, I'll be sure to post a pic for you!

Thanks!

Denise..
Thanks! quartz pieces arrived yesterday! Now to glass them to see which are unfractured and will take carving, then to stare at them to see what's in there that wants to come out! <G>

That is an awesome crystal!

ASTROBLEME

i sure miss ole Redpaw ! he asked for some privacy years back and he got it!

Same here Russ! I wonder if he still has the talking stick we made for him. He said it looked great in his war room.

Even a war room should have means of communication.
