Cleaned out the slab bucket before it started overflowing this time! It is so cold outside that I am going to need to change the oil in the saws to keep them running. Table 1 Owyhee jasper Bitch Creek Jade Golden Sheen Midnight Lace same slab backlit A couple more lace slabs backlit Table 2 Rainbow Obsidian Green Banded obsidian, if you hold some of these just right, they are chatoyant almost like a piece of tigers eye. Table 3 Stinking Water Plume The one on the left is a heel cut, so you can see how interesting the outside is Green Forest Fire agate cut with the grain instead of across it Unknown plume, most probably from the Owyhees unknown but very interesting another unknown but very interesting chunk Thanks for looking. Merry Christmas................Tony

Great slabs Tony!
Im still really liking that green banded obsidian. And your "uknown but interestings" are really great too.

Golly, Tony - are you sure that was a slab "bucket" and not a slab "barrel" That's a whole load of yummy slabs. I especially like the last picture - that stuff looks like a bucket full of gorgeous cabs to me!

I really like the first unknown, and all the plumes! Of course that obsidian deserves honorable mention too!

Hey Tony - are you married? If so great partner you have lol.... Wow if I brought my slabs in the house and laid them across the stove I'd have all sorts of looks - Either that or maybe your heat treating them a bit different? ;D Nice cuts - Picture jasper looks nice! Jason

Wow Tony... you don't mess around when you clean out a bucket! Awesome batch!
I hear you on the temps. We had single digits this morning with a high of 17. Today was the first day I don't think I could of cut without the wood stove burning.

WOW! You have some amazing stuff in this batch! I love all of the obsidian and that green forest fire and the stinking water plume are amazing! That all just looks like a play land to me!!! Fran

Lookin at all those cool Obsidian slabs I think I am going to have to load up my Knapping tools and head over to Tony's place ! I just bet that Owyhee would make some kick A$$ points also.
