BTW, can you say overdoing it too soon after surgery? We went to the Montgomery gem and mineral show yesterday - 2 hrs drive, 6 hrs looking at rocks, and 2 hrs back - but Tim drove so it was OK.
Anyhow, I saw lots of gorgeous coprolites. They were sliced sort of thin, about 1/2 inch, then highly polished. If they had been smaller, would have made a pretty pendant. Imagine the conversation:
"What a lovely pendant? Is that tiger eye?"
"No, nothing to do with tigers, but it did come out of an animal."
And now back to the story.
