Had a little time to finish a couple up. The one I really wanted to post was the little lake Superior agate that's perfect ring size. I don't usually find them with banding that stands out so was happy about this one and was able to cut around the fractures.

Group shot!! Like one of those pictures from when they were young and then the next picture is when they're all grown up and have jobs.

LOL Grown up with jobs... Gorgeous work! The one that got a job on the far left looks like a piece of candy. Yummy! Picture #2 and the delicious candy are my 2 favorites. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

Haha yeah that's true! The dreamsickle one (pic number 3) is a piece of brecciated Jasper. I asked the shop where it came from and I thought he said somewhere in Africa but I'll need to ask again when I go there next.

That's my unsolicited unprofessional opinion.

Some was more pink and some was orange.

Haha any time. But for real, this is some of my favorite stuff to work with. It looks a little "meh" after the typical 3k wheel and then just takes that mirror finish on the polishing stage.
