Ok.. Here is my feeble attempt at finishing something I started. I wanted this rock so bad simply because I seen the coolest design and potential in it. . anyways. I get it home.. I realize I can't tumble it..
So I need your help I'm at an impass.. I only have so many toys.. a dremel.. and a small grinder. however.. this center chips. and is very.unstable and somewhat .fragile in some parts. but then in others it's solid agate.. I don't know what it is.. But I like it.. ;D(warning) may not be suitable for all viewers.. lol
LOL.. Sorry .. I know I know the picture is bad... I would of held it up but.. ya know.. . And I figured I'd better start to prepare you guys for when I DO get a cab Machine.. That's how I feel it's going to look like at my house afterwards ..lol Ok..next pic..
This is right after all got all the muck off the edges.. and I'm stuck deciding what to do with it.. I don't want to loose all the shape but I don't want it to look lost.. do you know what I mean?
And one with the potential I see in it..
Ok the part I'm having problems with is the top layer.. that white part seems to be like crystal. but fractured so it flakes but when I grind on it. it's hard and turns into milk like agate.. not sure what's going on.. but the outside is so solid..And the thing I want to do is just enhance it the way it was meant to look like.. without the muck around the outside.. there was alot on one side and I got most of it off.. but I don't want to change the shape of it.. so . what should I do?.. and I don't want to Keep grinding away cuz I'm scared of ruining it.. It's translucent but It's still on the really thick side.. because I don't want to loose the center .So any ideas comments they all help.. a real camera would of really helped .huh..
;D
