Bumble bee, bought in Tucson a few years ago.

Sone Mexican fluorite I got in Quartzite .

A few slabs of Candelaria ribbon turquoise I got from an old estate.

Some flame agate.

A few peanut obsidian.

And lastly, some Purperite I got in Tucson, very difficult to photograph to show the chatoyancy

Thanks for looking. (cheers)

Shame that a lot of the turquoise was crushed to go for the gold in the ore instead.

Very cool, can't wait to see the next stage of these! That Bumblebee is sooo yellow!

I guess one of these days I need to dig out the cabbing machine, it has been several years since I made a cab.
