Got some more done. Gorgeous and more orangy in person. The green is translucent. a gem Owyhee - I don't think I have posted this before, but maybe I did. more pet wood from Oregon- this even has some pyrite squiggles- a little of everything another of Jeff's Petersite- this is a pleasure to work with. an interesting material from Little Wood River Idaho- the light blue is agate. Prettier in person. had a little slip of this blue ice polka dot agate before my 7" saw blade crapped out. GORGEOUS semi translucent Aussie royal rhodonite. LOVE IT! I think this was my last piece. Last but not least a really sweet gm of willow creek destined to be jewelry. Much more pink in person. This was very thin. I was so nervous the whole time I was cabbing it. I won't be able to get any cabbing done for 5 more flippin' days! I'll be soooooo jonesing before then! Thanks for looking.

Nice job on all of them but for me the OJ & Polka Dot Jasper are the standouts.

The first one with the colours of the flag of Ireland will play upon the emotions of the Irish. Makes me want sip a really fine micro-brewery cellar stout and toast the Emerald Isle myself. I'm not Irish, but I do appreciate a good cold one.
You're consistent. We can always count on superb material and superb craftwomanship.
Darryl.

Got some more done. an interesting material from Little Wood River Idaho- the light blue is agate. Prettier in person. I have loads of this material in brown/red, and the blue/greens sitting around here, used to LOVE to go hounding out there around the Little Wood!!!
