    Yes, Yes, and Yes....
    Whichever you can see to have...buy...!

    Ok, OK, I haveta....
    McCreight is into PMC/Silver clay, also...
    Guru he is..

    HUH...!
    He does metal....I'm a stone guy, but you have to have balance...

    Besides, you get these stones accumulating, because you have to look

    Well, sooner or later you have to do something with them...<G>...

    Honker Siberian Amy...? Yeah, it had pearls, too... 

Lifetime experience...
