Here is the rest of the stuff I have been working on: This first one is a bad picture of a Tigers Eye that finally shined up. I worked these two that I had found in MA. when we were visiting there. I just liked the patterns but they were sure hard to polish up. This next one is out of a very fractured slab. I found this area that I liked and I was afraid after all that work, it would fracture but it did fine. This is a green jasper and a moss agate that had to be reworked from my last group. They turned out pretty nice now. Here is the whole group. Thanks for looking! Fran

Beautiful batch, you were busy these days! I like the pillow shapes mostly.

I like the local stones you picked up, nice batch overall. I know you have so much work with that swap top. But it is worth it Amber

Thank you so much all! I was determined to complete some this weekend and I was just upset about the flourite. I will get it trimmed up and fixed with my next batch. The local rocks seemed to be something like a granite. Lots of little areas with garnet in it and it took time but finally polished well. I like the labradorite but it sure is splintery. My goal will be to master this type of stone and learn how to get a really glassy finish that I have seen before. Fran

I am hoping to have time this weekend to take another crack at the fluorite. It really needs to be finished, it is such a pretty piece. Maybe I will get around to my wire wrapping again.... Fran
