> I am looking for some large-xlarge pieces of 100% clean Danburite Rough.
I believe Rob Kulakofsky has some on his website...
http://www.facetingrough.com/
If not, then I believe the main source for facet rough is a mine in Mexico,
in Chihuahua I think. If you search for it on the internet maybe you'll find
a contact name?

TODAY'S FUNNY ~
TEXAN WITH A NEW CAR
Three cowboys were hanging out in the bunkhouse.
"I know that smart aleck Tex," said the first. "He's going
to start bragging about that new foreign car he bought as
soon as he gets back."
"Not Tex," the second cowboy replied. "He'll always be
just a good ol' boy. When he walks in, I'm sure all he'll
say is hello."
"I know Tex better than either of you," said the third.
"He's so smart, he'll figure out a way to do both. Here
he comes now."
Tex swung open the bunkhouse door
and shouted, "Audi, partners!"

REFLECTIONS AND TIDBITS:
