Been able to get a few minutes of cutting and grinding in between the relentless storms have been hitting us. That's some stuff pre-cut and dropped. Have quite a few triangular shapes happening. I was excited to work this piece of Moroccan agate. I started grinding in a small pit appeared. I thought I would grind through it. Not so much   |

Really pretty. Maybe a wrap design could come up and hide that with a little swoop-de-swoop of some sort. Glad you are able to get some, hopefully de-stressing, grinding time!

Pretty moss! Bummer about the pit, but you can always just make the cab smaller. It would still be a beauty.

That would have been sooo sweet! But, like Robin said, you can still get a smaller cab.
I love triangular cabs. |

Fit a blue gemstone in that pit? It's a beautiful stone.

Interesting idea dirtsifter. That one hadn't crossed my mind. I thought about filling but it's big enough that I think it would look terrible. I'll probably cut it. I'm thinking about just mirroring the top shape on the bottom. I might try filling it and then I can always cut it off after words when it looks like crap. |

I'm thinking about just mirroring the top shape on the bottom. I might try filling it and then I can always cut it off after words when it looks like crap. Seems a shame to remove any of that stone. Perhaps obsidian or even gold in the pit. Something that would pick up and heighten the stone or contrast it. Peridot or emerald I would agree look nice. I'm partial to a blue corundum. Lots of options but you are the artist. Bon chance. Please let us see what you do with it. |
