Petrified wood always takes a nice polish.
I'm sure many breeders can probably recognize the 'new snake sheen' on some of the hatchlings in this photo series.

This is the first pastel axanthic I produced. The odds were 1/8 that season and I had 24 eggs, this was the only one.
Over time he has held his coloration nicely.

Stones are an interesting material. Agate with Marcasite inclusions collected in Nipomo California (in the 60's).
I have both blue and red versions of these stones.
A skilled lapidary artist can turn these stones into spectacular jewelry.

Thanks!

People think that rock tumbling is a hobby that requires patience. Breeding ball python morphs: That is a hobby that requires real patience...:)

I LOVE singing bowls.

There's a book shop up in the Atlanta area that carries a lot of them, as well as an assortment of other spiritual/religious items and books. I've always wanted to pick one up but the world became the world and I never did. Thanks for reminding me about them! Time to do some online shopping.

Yes, it is neat! There was a small shop in my college town that sold imported goods. The singing bowl pictured was the first one I was ever introduced to: I thought it was neat on a science-y level and had to have it...I remember buying a lot of eclectic items as an excuse to visit that store before I asked the shopkeepers daughter on a date, but, that is a completely different story. ;)
