That's beautiful. I'd put it in a special bag and hang it around my neck.

I like the buffalo cave-paintings in Europe.

Tonka is apache for buffalo? I remember hearing that in Dances With Wolves.

That's where I heard it from too.

I thought it was the Sioux tribe.

Yes, it was Sioux. I always get the Native American tribes mixed up.

Last of the Mohicans and Dances With Wolves are wonderful movies. Not a beard in site either.

Cool. I forgot about your fire agate obsession. I need to move from PA. It's not a very good location for those interested in gems and rock-hounding. All we have here is ginseng. :roll:

Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous! It's so shiny. It has a nice sense of niceness around it.
