DHOFAR 1289 THE 16TH SPHERE OF MY COLLECTION COMPLETED DECEMBER 24TH, 2007 While searching the net for new material I stumbled across a large Dhofar 1289 specimen on the Rocks from Heaven website. I contacted Jason & he was more then willing to help me obtain enough material to make a sphere for my collection. The material was more fragile then I had expected but I decided to risk it. I processed it into a rough which I sent to John at The Rare Earth Trading Company for evaluation. He was confident he could work with the material &a few weeks later I had an nice L-4 Sphere for my collection. I have purchased 2 items from Jason & both times he was really easy to work with
