The Laguna’s are my favorite. I’d love to have all those in a collection and no I’d never cut them. Some of the others though, I’d probably cut. I had the idea years ago to do photography of rocks like he does and enlarge them for art. He sells large prints to places like businesses for wall art. If I couldn’t afford the rocks, the art would be a good substitute.

Some look like stones I have seen in the Gamma picture jasper books. |

Got this Morrisonite in the mail today. I still have to figure out how I'm going to slice this one up!  (Front and back of slab)   |

Those are all so pretty!!! But If I ever had that kind of money laying around to spend on rocks I'd definitely leave them as they are.

Morrisonite is a porcelain jasper, so it takes an amazing shine! I took pictures of the slab with the stenciled shapes on it...but I may use the other side of the preforms as the dome. I'll have to inspect them pretty heavily before I decide which way to go with them. I'll do a thread with the finished pieces and include all the "before" pics... |
