Back at the beginning of the summer Robert dropped off a big box of rocks and saw trimmings. I've finally gotten one batch completed, and got some really cool pieces out of it. This one is by far the coolest-I'm not sure the picture does it justice. This is some type of agate, right?  kj |

Kj that's a beautiful wrap. The colors almost look like it might be a laker but it's hard to tell for sure. If it was held up and backlit it might be easier to say.

Very nice wrap. Pretty piece, did you secure the wires on the back?

Hi Kim-here's a pic of the back-the wires are actually secured to the side wire. I only used 3 on this one-21G (sorry Doc!) square. Cher, I tried to back light it a little more for you-does this help at all? Robert had said that they were all Jaspers and Agates-but he had included saw trimmings too, so I guess it could be a laker.  |

Mmmmmmmmm I'd have to say no to it being a laker but whatever it is, it sure is pretty.

Thanks all-now if I can just get the lighting perfect! I think I need a new camera-no matter how much light I put on these rocks, seems like it's still a little too dark. Oh well! christmas is coming up-but, does the camera go BEFORE a Workforce? And, where do I put the grinder on my list?  ? KJ |

Ya get the workforce & grinder at the same time (saves on the sawblades...something I'm learning the HARD way!) and then you get the camera. and THEN you can get unnecessary things like food and medical care!

LOL Crystal-wish I could take credit for those! Just a gift from long ago that I thought would work out as a photo prop
