I wish I had a before picture of this one. The preform has been sitting around for probably a couple of months because it just didn't look that great. It had a light area on the back inside but the rest of it was just plain green. I was real surprised when I ground it and the orbs appeared.  |

It came out lovely! What material is that? We are still learning... :-) I think Jason is correct. It was just a small piece that I received from somewhere. Small enough that I had to put it in a quart milk carton with plaster to slice it up. I had what I though was one cool piece and this one looked like a dud until I finally ground it. Thanks Patty, I really like it. I think this one will go in a smithed setting. I already have an idea for a Bruneau cab with a very similar pattern. It came out lovely! What material is that?

I was stoked when I started forming it and of course Royal Imperial polishes so nicely. |

It had to have been like grinding Batcave...where it can just keep getting better and better as the pattern starts emerging! |
