Thank you BWeaves, jeg, 86Corvettegirl, and Marianne!

Thanks! Around 12.85mm average.

Thanks newberry, Simply adorned, and GemGeek! Here’s a couple of handshots. :)

Thanks Pearl Dreams and BWeaves! I had the concept for more than a decade but only did it this year. :)

My loot from the Bangkok fair. White SSP is 12.00-16.20 and bigger GSSP 10.00-13.50.

Very nice rose buds!
