The other red/orange/yellow, or a combination thereof, are Lavic. I was pretty close in my Rio guesses. I found stone like #15 on the Rio, one of my favorites of all Rio's. Why did you rotary finish them ? Don't you have a Lot-O ?

I found stone like #15 on the Rio, one of my favorites of all Rio's. Why did you rotary finish them ? Don't you have a Lot-O ? I think you were pretty spot on. The Lavic is neat stuff, and that's why I like it so much. Despite the flaws that inevitably pop up, the variety of colors and patterns never ceases to amaze me. And, yep, many times they look like Rio's IMHO. Just when I think I've seen most of it, something new pops up. So far, Garage Rocker has produced one of the neatest pieces of Lavic I've yet to see...it was out of a batch I sent to him. As far as finishing with a rotary, that's all I have to work with. I've never pulled the trigger on a vibe. If and when I do, it will be a Loto.

NRG sent me some Lavic. Blown away by it. Most colorful. All colors except blue. I was late getting a vibe too. Used rotary for about 4 years and did just fine. Should get a star next to your avatar for being a rotary man where is NRG ?

I did receive a reddit link from him the other day, but nothing else personal.
