GOT ANIMALS?

Animal Shapes are great fun, Ham Anyone?
Just recently I found this guy laying in the river mud,
trip over him and fell on my face, as I got out,
when I looked back to see what I tripped on,
I saw him looking down hiding his face!
Down or up what say you...




He is so heavy he bent my jitta, BOTRYOIDAL JADE, Northern California River, INOSHISHIGATA-ISHI 7.5"x4.5"x5"

Hello Stonener,
That stone was really happy to see you.
Sunip

I guess you can tell,
had a good time at the river...

Hi Stonener

I like the stone...and it has a nice sice too.
But are you sure it is a animal?...to me it looks like a little boy. ( without clothes)

Kind regards Yvonne

geologically, it may be an interesting conglomerate or a breccia

Hello Ms Yvonne,
Thank You for your time and response,
but floppy ears and a snout on a little green boy?
no clothes? funny, fun & different?, but ok!
Here we have a brand of canned vegetables,
called GREEN GIANT, his son is called "sprout"
is little green boy, wearing a hat of leaves.
This kind of stone is very hard to find with quality's,
for suiseki, color, pattern, shape, wear and size.
beautiful green colors and bubbles of hard material,
make it a rare find!, my first in ten years, found me!
There is a new book on this topic,
by Don Dupras (geopubs@sbcglobal.net)
send him your mailing address and I will gift you the book.
very interesting and detailed information on Jade's
HAPPY HUNTING!...

Hey Wen!
I agree, can tell by what you say, you have knowledge,
I find the shape which is difficult to collect very interesting,
and of course color and ware also make a big difference.
So very happy stone found me! could never afford it otherwise.
Here in California there is many different kinds of this materials,
all of which are new to me, but have been famous in the World...

Hi Stonener

I di not see the ears..I saw them as arms liftet over the head ( a little boy who want o be carried by mum or dad ),( Or be taken home by you )

Will you give me a book?? I am honoured, it sounds very interesting, I send a email in a minute....expecting I missunderstood meassage.

Kind regards Yvonne

Yes Ms Yvonne,
I will gift you this new book on California Jades,
My friend Don is waiting for your address.
lots of nice pictures, information and maps.
sharing is caring, enjoy...

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS

Ms Yvonne!
get back to me with your favorite type,
would be good information to know,
maybe surprise in mail from California!
this year I am putting together a bus trip,
for our stone club to the Jade Festival...

Hi Stonener

I have no favourite type..I am a beginner.
I just know this kind of stone is good quality.

Kind regards Yvonne

Just found this little red guy playing in the river,
with arms held up high as if crying to be picked up!
and carried home by Mommy or Daddy...



Just for fun as Ms Yvonne envisioned before!...
1st see the little round nose, center near top,
then eyes ether side of nose on tilted head looking up,
just below can be seen opened mouth,
and tiny tongue...

OK Stonener

I see it too ...the stone may be too newbroken to be a nice suiseki...but it has a face, no doubt abot that.

The Book from you has arrived....it shows photos of topsuiseki, and awesome jade...
The best of it, is for me the geologipart....in this book can I learn about, how aand were a lot of diffrent stones was createt millions of years ago, also stones I find in Denmark. I have wanted to seak this information, but had not found the time to do anything about yet.
It is a book with interest for every suiseki- jade- and stonelover.

So this book, a gift from you, is very welcomne. And I can only say, MANY THANKS.

Kind regards Yvonne

Ms Yvonne!
can hardly wait to see how it will improve your already masterful eye,
results will speak for themselves I'm sure, enjoy it my friend...
As for my new little guy, He is in the Saba style,
which means rustic, term used comely with raw natural unpolished,
textured 3-D chrysanthemum flower stones, mountain collected...

Hey Dick! mud pond raised...
This one's got your name all over it!,
make sure I have your correct address!
soon as daiza is made, it's swimming your way!
