;D.... I picked on everyone for not posting enough pics, I guess that I should post pics. lol.... This batch I just finished today, alot of these (most) were cut from stuff that I received from board members........ The brecciated jasper (red with patterns) came from Kim (rockyraccoon), and the white pendants with the red/brown patterns in the upper right came from Jamie (desertdweller), she said that the whole mountain is made of it. I'm gonna steal the entire mountain. ;D ... This is the porcelain jasper that I received from Sieg (rockkitten) just a couple of weeks ago, I still have more to cut. I love this stuff!! Here's some Mozarkite that I received from Sandy (Chinook), the shine is amazing and the pendants are flawless!! Here's another rock that I received from Sandy, not sure what is it but it sure is pretty and shines like glass..... The blue swirlstone on the bottom came from Kim, top middle is petwood that I received from Jamie, and the leapardskin jasper I purchased from the local rock shop... Here's some tumble scraps... Here's a pic for Susan, this is warm springs agate....

Love the photos. Love the cabs. Love the scraps. And when you steal the mountain, if you share some of it with me, I'll love you, too! ;D
Quick question: Are these all destined to become pendants or do you ever make windchimes or mobiles with any of your cabs? You have such a wonderful variety of colors--I think they would make vivid chimes and mobiles.

Randy, That's quite some pendants! I am always amazed at the amount, quality, and perfectly shaped shapes you come up with. Great stuff as usual. Leopardskin is really neat looking. Steve

Beautifull stuff. I like the poccelain too. You have a beautiful warmly-colored group of rocks near the leopardine in the 6th pic. That's also amongst my favs. Adrian PS. Is ALL that batch you birthday present for Randy'sGirl?

Great looking batch. I still have those cool preforms you sent me out last year - - They're a huge hit w/ the co-workers. Looks like you've been busy!

Lady-B (and Tim).. the large ones on the right hand side are my first attempt at windchimes. I just need to get more diamond bits. Raqy- bottom left in the 6th pic is imperial jasper. Oh, Tim- I can't believe that you still remember that avatar! ;D

Wow, all of it turned out gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to find some small out of the way spots near me with some mozarkite too, it's few and far between. I love the one agate (unknown) stuff to! I'll be getting some pics soon as I just finished a batch, but may start them over in 500 as I think they can shine a bit better! Sandy
