They say things happen in 3s.  I hope that is all.  4 weeks ago I smashed a finger positioning the Brazilian Rhodonite in a saw.  That stuff is heavy!

2 weeks ago I cut the same finger on the drop saw cutting the Gobi desert turquoise.  did't hit the bone, but was deep eough for 2 butterfly bandages.

Last week while grinding points off of a jade preform, my hand slipped and took a chuk out of my index figer of my left hand.  Again not to the bone.  My heavy leather glove was shredded.  

Can I say i have not accomplished much in the last month?  I am ready for the Fiesta of Gems in Culver City on 6/27-6/28 at the venterans center.   Hope to see you there!
