Sigh, indeed!

Thank you Michel.

That is probably the best collection of stones I have seen to date, from the bottom up. Thanks for sharing.

The daiza carved to look like lily leaves under the frog is amazing, and a very nice touch!

What a shame we lost Willi not too long ago. for those looking for print material on the subject his books are very worthwhile.
