  1. I came back from a tour in the Bible lands with a souvenir I picked up from the Dead Sea. i had in mind to use it as a paperweight on my workbench when I craft my journals. (TR paper is so thin and lightweight, they can easily get blown off the table with slight wind) The worry was whether the stone would mar the very delicate TR paper. And so the stone was left lying around just waiting and waiting .... to be useful. The stone I think is soft. And it had two large chip-offs. There were also cracklines quite obvious running round the stone. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/Stationery%20Paraphernalia/LEATHER%20WRAPPED%20STONES/FullSizeRender01.jpg the other side http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/Stationery%20Paraphernalia/LEATHER%20WRAPPED%20STONES/FullSizeRender02.jpg then just a few days ago, i received a Pinterest alert that carried this pic https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=leather+stone&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiF8vadkOLTAhXLso8KHcH4Ad0Q_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=604#imgrc=wdtotVsH3Zku8M: They look so much like durian seeds here - large pebble-sized seeds of a local popular tropical fruit - the infamous Durian !! Eureka ! The perfect solution to dress up my stone such that it wont ever mar my papers !
