Wait until New Years. He wants to start the year off on the right foot.Why is it only the left foot one?
That's how you get them cheap(free). Go to the shoe store and snag the display shoes. Wait a couple weeks, then go back for the other side when they put it out for display ;^)Why is it only the left foot one?

Hackmanite (sodalite), forsterite (olivine) on calcite with a couple phlogopite mica flakes from the Sar-e Sang mines, Afghanistan. The Sar-e Sang mines have been continuously worked since ~7600 BC. Lapis lazuli from the mines was traded throughout the Old World and found at Ur, Bhirrana, in Egyptian tombs including the funeral mask of Tutankhamun, Roman artifacts, and in Chinese artifacts. The minerals above were considered waste rock until the invention of UV lights. I'll get better fluorescent pics in a couple days.
Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan
Skarn deposit of lapis lazuli that has probably been worked since the 7th millennium BC. ...www.mindat.org
I will when it arrives. Forsterite from this location is hit or miss on that. Some doesn’t fluoresce at all while other pieces will glow red for hours after the light is turned off.Flourese it.
Flourese it.
Do you find it's worth getting expensive glass? All I've used are cheapies, and I find them perfectly satisfactory. Some came from the dollar store, some from amazon @ 2/~$6, and the one I'm using now came with my $11 phone case. It's cracked, but the crack isn't obtrusive, and I have another one that came with the case. I figure I'll use that if/when mine gets really bad.Tomorrow I'll be the proud owner of a 3 pack glass screen protector/camera protector for an S24 Ultra. 9h hardness baby. No TPU flexible nonsense in my household.
