WOW!
When hubby and I were in Seattle in September, I bought an inexpensive little ammonite that has a ring attached for hanging on a necklace. I've been looking at beads online and got very excited about some beautiful turitellia agate beads (they have fossils of snails in them which make beautiful patterns!) If I order those beads, I won't use them for my ammonite pendant- the patterns would compete, and my ammonite is a bit darker with less contrast. I also saw some fossil coral beads and petrified wood. This is all probably sacrilege to a paleontologist, though...
Good mornooning all!

Do we have a price limit?Hi, Ed!
TORTOISE is where everyone who wants to participate lets Adam know. He writes our names on pieces of paper that his friend Zak then pulls out of a hat. so each participant gets assigned someone to send a gift to. We try to keep it secret as long as possible, but since our names are on the package return address, it's really no secret, so it's not exactly a "Secret Santa!"
Oh, and we can't open the gift we receive via Tortoise until Adam says we can. (How's that, Adam? Did I do better?
We can post things we like or dislike to help our sender know what to get us. You did GREAT as my TORTOISE sender last year!!!!!!
There is a price limit £/$/€ 25 possibly? I can’t remember.
Not at all, as long as it's not rare stuff. I have some Turritella agate tumblestones myself.WOW!

Sometimes polishing the specimens is the only way to see the detail or internal structure anyway.
Anything that sparks an interest in such tings can't be bad, anyway and fossils and amber have been used for jewellery for thousands of years.
Good morning, John.
Yes, I can't remember but I think it was between $20 and $30 dollars, plus international postage, of course, so it's a good idea to keep the gifts on the light side.
Good morning, Noel!Morning all
Good morning, Linda!Good morning to you and the rest of the CDR.

TORTOISE ! ! ! I just checked back and the limit last year was $20 or about £15 or 17 Euro or 190DH.
It's only a bit of fun so is that okay for everyone, or should we raise it just a little to $25 this year?
