Blue Swirlstone  Swazi Bloodstone  African Lace - vug on back filled with dop wax - forgot the beeswax hint  Mugglestone - had to redo on the diamond machine - amazing finish, hematite is awesome  Sorry Kim if my pictures don,t do justice to your stones, but I need for fidna sunny day to take pics |

Looney's rule Tweet! I love the african lace one. What is the material you are using to back up the stones in the pics?

I think I'm going to have to find a place to get ahold of some blue swirlstone! They are all lovely, by the way!

Those all look fantastic, especially that African Lace. That is a very interesting assortment of rocks, all of which I have never seen before. Thanks for the geology lession as well as a cab show. Very nice polish on those and great work. I think the African Lace or the Mugglestone are my favorites.

Joe, that backing stuff is some type of foam material used to pad computer parts in their boxes.
The pictures didn,t turn out very nice - I may have to repost in sunshine, can't understand why I get so yellow pictures even with the different settings on the camera - I need sun - flash sucks!

Kims Swirlstone is incredible- I have a couple slabs of it- Just watch out for the hiddenfractures (I had a cab ready for polish- It was doped- and I wanted to reposition it- I was looking at it closely and I see this hairline crack- hmmmmmmm I went to freeze it and the one half of the stone just fell off- only thing that was holding it together was the wax) Now I have another cab of it from the same slab that is just holding up wonderfully! Tweet Awesome job on those I can't pick a fav! To get the Yellow out of your pix- try Flouresent lighting (it'll turn the photos blue!!!! I also shoot on a Blue background- helps chase away the Yellows!

Absolutely stunning! I think my favorites would be the porcelain jasper & Swazi bloodstone. Altho, they are all wonderful!!

Wow Tweety, those are all very nice. I'm not sure which I like best, you did a great job on them all. You must have taken new pics, they don't look yellow to me.
