Hello everyone! After a loooong time, I had a little time to play again with rocks. I wanted to add an accent to a tile which would be placed in the living room. I chose a red tiger eye for this, because it matches with the parquet which will surround the tiling. Here are the materials: A close up of the slab... which I cut to match the square hollow in the tile. After polishing it, I turned both the tile and the square cab and glued them with epoxy, as you see: I let them cure for a few hours and then turned the tile and cleaned the epoxy on the face. Here's what I got: And a close up: Thank you for looking, Adrian

I really like what you did but, to show my ignorance, isn't that Tiger Iron and not Tiger Eye? Whatever it is, good job.
