I had to search through a bunch of my boxes for some Rhodocrosite that I promised a slab of to someone, and since I was cutting the piece, I figured I may as well cut a few for me too! This stone is right at the top of my list of gorgeous stones. Here's why. And I also ran across a piece of Patagonian Agate. Hope you like these!

That teardrop is coming right from my eye!! That is really beautiful. Rhodochrosite is one of my all time favorites. You did them great. Tammy

Very nice Ed! I'm still a bit chicken to try cutting my rhodo slab on the WF until I get a better thinner blade.

That is some sweet candy, Ed. I hope it's okay for a guy to say "I love that pink" because I sure do love that pink. Very nice, mate. Very nice.

That teardrop is awesome, perfect shape and sweet pattern! The combination of pink + orange in the Patagonian is also very interesting. Turn it 90 deg clockwise and you'll have a painted turtle Adrian

yep, Rhodo is one of my favs as well, tricky at times, but rewarding when you do it right...and of course, you nailed those right on the money. great stuff, Ed!

Finally, someone who gives a proper warning. Even with my welding mask on these shine through. My daughter loves pink and I have a slab of rhodo but am waiting until I have more experience before I screw it up. Those are beautiful.

thanks for the warning, they are beautiful. We have a big chunk of that we want to cut and make 3 crosses for the granddaughters. Pink is their favorite color. i just got the directions from blarney so when ralph feels up to it i"m sending him outside to work on them
