HOF today

[aneelcon]

Ok, I went to a dealer today to find out about some custom work and they just happen to carry some HOF stones.

The lady had loose stones so it was pretty cool looking at them under the H&A viewer. But I have to say, they weren''t any more sparklier than the other stones in the display and under their lighting. I also got to look at my stone (arrows only) and it was a blast. I think I want to buy this H&A viewer thing. Most people have Idealscopes right? What about H&A viewers? the viewer that I used seemed pretty rugged and very solid. They sell for $89 on ebay. I''ll look around ps but is it worth it?

pretty cool stuff.

oooh ooohhh, post a link? I am dying to get more "tools & toys" of the trade...are you kidding?! If I could get a Sarin, I would!

Oooh, go Aneelcon! Yay you!

I want a H&A viewer toooo! I saw a HOF under the viewer and i loved it. Although I have to say the HOF stones DID sparkle more than the ones around them at Michael C. Fina...but their price...did not!
