quartz and smoky quartz is so nice, it's a shame it fractures so darn easy. here is my latest tumble: and the premier piece as far as i'm concerned: i'm in love with the rutilated quartz, my latest flight of fancy.... thanks for looking, KD

Nice batch KD. Rutilated quartz is some cool looking stuff. I see alot of nice stones in this batch. And, as usual, cool fish, but where's the close ups of the fish?

Junk? Oh yeah, it's junk! ;D Love the colors, what a pretty batch that turned out to be. Love the fish too, I'm going to be trying it soon myself. Stoner sent me some brazillian agate to use. I'm going to practice on something else first though. Awesome shine!!

Nice- Very Nice---- I'm guessing that the green fish is actually a dyed Brazilian agate- Do I win?

I actually like how the green fish stands out the best. Is that a colored brazillian agate, or something else?

that is indeed dyed brazilian agate, folks. i know some of y'all are purists and would poo-poo such things, but when it comes to fish, i have no shame.
