That is frikin awesome. I love that stuff too. I worked a piece I got in the last noob boy and like you said, it works like butter. Grind with 200 or 400 diamond and skip grits on the way up. You did one hell of a job on that and WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD OF YOU. Jim

I was so proud of a little rhodocrosite cabochon I made for sis-n-law this xmas (my first). Even had a classmate wrap it.
Now, this? This is truly gorgeous! Great job Susan!

Lovely piece! That looks like quite a job cabbing them so they all fit so well. Well done!

Beautiful - and great work on the silver too.. loving both rocks and metal I'd be too confused which way to turn it!

Yeah -- for awhile I was thinking about putting bezel strip between the petals, but then I decided it would be lovely but increase the chances of a depressing failure too much! lol.

That's a great job Susan!!! And with all the steps pix, you can tell it was quite a bit of work too!!!
I will forever and always think of you as the rhodocrosite lady:), not just because of this piece, but from the swap box:). Rhodocrosite = bluesky susan:).
