Very nice!👍 What are the pink stones on the table at the left? Very pretty. Also I’m not familiar with that type of machine. Looks like a little flat lap with a canvas polishing pad on it. And then do you also have grinding disks for it?

Thank you . Pink stones - rhodonite. I have many flat laps for processing gems. I once described the technology here.

The Kazakhstan moss agate is very similar to the Montana moss agate. I really really like the one in third photo though, exceptional. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with rockjunquie. Beautiful work!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
