Those are pretty wonderfully and distinctive stones. Ill keep my eyes open, but it is a needle in a haystack. Are these from an Oregon locality?

That's a happy ending! Glad to hear you recovered the Obsidians. Care to share the details for those of us who ship minerals by post?

Hello well the only thing i can come up with so far is the mail here in town gets shipped to bend oregon for reshipping and i sent the stones to MD and they were stuck back into a package comming to me from pendlton oregon with a corner ripped open. It was very unexpected but i'm not going to argue. I think it helps to have a aunt in the local post office to she's a hell raiser (sorry about the language). The other thing is i had the inside contents taped together and it still might contain the theifs fingerprints. But i'm just happy i got the stones back and whoever had enough to think it might not be worth a fine and jail over them. It's always good to have pictures to show of the item too. thanks for your concern here happy holidays to you all Emory Coons

Well, that's a nice ending to this story, and just in time for Christmas too! Glad it came out okay for you.

good thing you had help from the inside is all im going to say!! I had an experiance for months after 911 where at the Santa Clarita California USPS transfer station alot of my packages were arriving to their destination or not weeks late, torn open and resealed, some stones missing, and some packages never arriving at all. I summed it up to the rampant fears during 911 of terrorist activities and the fact that some of my specimens were low level radioactive, fluorescent and some downright heavy!! unfortunatly during these times as many of us heard with airport securitys abuses of power that some of my packages fell to the temptations of crooked inspectors..Anyhoos glad to hear you got your very beautiful stones back!!
