I'm working on my next display case which is for another gem show next month. I'm trying to go international, but I keep on being drawn back to domestics. Forgive the dust. The pieces have sat a couple days and I didn't wipe them off. (Dust caused by my Duh...) Turtle Mountain blue agate Laker (future insert into my rock box donation to club) Slightly blurred Marfa Texas (I believe...) Woodward Ranch, Tx Utah Coprolite Contour polished Baker egg Last: Mexican fire agate with a little bit of fireworks But not least: One of my students is taking a junior lapidary course in Oxnard, Ca. She brought me an agate that she picked up in one of their drawers of misc stuff. It was poorly cut and looked like someone tried to face polish in on a Genie and ground a deep groove right through its center. She asked if I could polish it up and I was happy to. It's Mexican and I would be proud to own it, but I don't, but I'm glad she's found a keeper. Thanks for looking, Lowell

Very nice display pieces Lowell! Awesome job on that last one your student brought. How cool is that, that she's taking classes!
