The also rans for this months contest, not completely done, the clearer ones aren't polished to a mirror on the back to a sufficient level of rock snobbery, yet. My first heart cabs in years, and definitely the first that I would call decent.     Coprolite, Serape Lace, and 2 from the same seam agate, not sure of ID. |

Nice job on all of them! At least for me, hearts can be tricky, and you managed it quite well. I like #2 and #3 the best, because I'm a sucker for the heart itself forming the top of the heart.

It definitely shows that you put your heart into each of these Lee!  |

Although, I love the broken hearts, I gotta go for the last one. It looks like a Hallmark heart. |

Well, that's my first piece of coprolite I've ever liked. Nice job turning ...*that* into a heart!

Nice job on all of them! At least for me, hearts can be tricky, and you managed it quite well. I like #2 and #3 the best, because I'm a sucker for the heart itself forming the top of the heart. I'm also fond of cabs that retain a "live" natural edge. It definitely shows that you put your heart into each of these Lee! Thanks. I still have a couple more preforms to finish, but I think I'm comfortable enough with the shape now, which was the goal. Although, I love the broken hearts, I gotta go for the last one. It looks like a Hallmark heart. It's the only one cut to match a template, the rest were drawn out with a circle template, ruler, and various round objects around the kitchen. I really like the material, wish I knew what it is. Nice job on those hearts, Lee! My fav is the last one. Any thoughts on what the material might be? It was in the estate I just got. Well, that's my first piece of coprolite I've ever liked. Nice job turning ...*that* into a heart! Thanks. We have thought about having a display for shows with various "message hearts". Coprolite for that beloved turd, fossil for that beloved old relic, maybe petrified wood you be my valentine? |

Rockoonz no idea what that agate is. It sure is pretty, though, and that's all that really matters, right?
