Ah thanks! Yeh it does seem very quiet everytime i drop in here. Do you think it may be on its way out or just a but of a slump? I guess if the crypto prices start rising again people will come back. Im

What a find thats a real nice casting! Toothbrush and i believe ketchup will get rid of a lot of rhe grime

@kimmysomelove42 oo nice stone! would be good to have a chat and see what stones you have, i can never say no to looking at rocks! i'll shoot you an email in a second. That holy blue would look beautiful

thanks so much for including me here, the support is always appreciated :)
