I'll keep that in mind for when I have a bit more cash flow.  I really am looking to have some nice polished and drilled slabettes for using as pendants.

Are the stones having fun with the vibe?   ura

Yes I have seen the slabettes on your site.  My problem is if I bought everything I saw on your site I would have no cash for my car payment! hide
