I started off last month with a purple theme but it flat-lined....... I stuck with the P's though! Just a few right now but many more coming ;D Purple Indonesian Chalcedony: Group shot of the last two: Paiutte Jasper: And lastly...... Pietersite! My newest favorite rock this week!!!!!! I want more of this stuff so bad! Wish you could see the flash in the picture: Thanks for taking some of your time to look at some of mine!

Beautiful material. You'll have to display them under glass to keep the drool off them.

Gorgeous, Krystee!!! That Paiutte is incredible as well as the chalcedony but that Pietersite is Killer!!! Did you get pictures of the process? If so, you should enter it in the KKC! Still have time!!!

Thank you!
Yes Cathy, I have pictures. Is it too late to post them since it's April 1st today? It's been months since I've entered a KCC, sounds fun and this is definitely a piece I'm happy with!

That pietersite is excellent! It's almost pictural, like an Aurora.

I envey your polishing skills! Great pieces Krystee! I picked up some Pietersite at Q-site and planning a belt buckle with it. Any advice on working that material as I haven't worked any yet.

Gary, it works exactly like Tiger Eye except the fibers are random and in every direction. Being that you are the Intarsia Tiger Eye Master, you will have NO PROBLEM!!!

Pietersite is one of the wonders of the rock world, lol. I love that stuff, and yours is wonderful. I've been buying Chinese Pietersite on and off from Ebay, but lately the prices really went up. It's nice material though. Jamie sent me a piece last year, or the one before, that I swear has little rivers of molten magma in it. It expresses the fire like opal does. If it had pin fire, it'd be close to making me cheat on opal Nice work as always. And I've still got to get me some Paiute. Let me know when your friend has another auction, if you please That's a great cab, also. Oh, and because of you, I'm now on a Velvet obsidian kick. My new favorite stone, of many, lol. I can't wait to cab a piece, but I can't stop myself from cutting it T

Whoohoo Tony! Velvet ob is sooooo dreamy!!!!!
I'll pm you and send you a piece of Paiute (I didn't realize that I was spelling it wrong with two t's.... had to go through about 100 pm's to find the name from the source, OOPS!)
