I went back through this thread, looking at the finished stones, and I think this final stone in it's setting is beautiful! It may have been set upside down from what you wanted but I like it. Great find and Jan did a great job cutting and polishing!
Your wife is very lucky. You did good!

I agree. That's really cool!

Thanks for the complements, everyone!

Herb, nice job on the setting. It's all the more meaningful when you know how it got out of the ground, got polished, and got set!

later,

I was over there last summer and stopped in at the hot springs. There was an old guy that was mining for the sun stones taking a dip/bath and a guy from Russia that drove there from Seattle in a Toyota Tercel? He said he was just wondering around and thought these hot springs would be worth looking at. This place is in the middle of nowhere!
