Now let me tell you, these walls have NO mortar, or anything to hold them together, just piecing!
Also, these walls contain EVERYTHING from amethyst to zinc!! LOL oh i am totally serious!! i saw opal, jasper, agate, amethyst, rhyolite, malachite, you name it and i BET she had it in ONE of those walls! lol
i was sooooooooo thoroughly impressed and LOVED these walls so much!! oh and how my fingers JUST itched to dig in those WONDERFUL piles!! EVERY stone i picked up or saw was BEAUTIFUL with crystals or drusy (a glitter appearance)!! i was completely in my own little 'heaven'!!

What amazing walls. Working without mortar is very difficult. You really have to have an eye for it.

Poor saguaro!!!

Shirley, your area looks a lot like mine, only my area is 100 percent flat as a pancake. No mountains, which is good, because I'm really scared of mountains, LOL...

When are you going to post what your hubby got you???!!!
