Well actually, not all of them are exactly new as a couple may have been posted before, but now their backs are shiny too! first the back side of this mysterious Mohave desert jasp/agate 21X25mm next up, a little piece of my I-80 Jasper from Nevada 20X24mm Some nice yellow Stone canyon Jasper; 15X40mm A piece of Oregon Opal 18.5X32mm 3 pieces of red breccia that Nephrite had left with Stoner who gave me a chunk; 9-11X27-29mm Good Old Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper 12X31mm And my first shots at Boulder Opal, (not quite as firey as I had hoped from the rough) 14X21mm 13X23mm 16X26mm I think this is either pet wood or agate from Nevada or Arizona, one of my early ones but much nicer with the back side finished 27X34mm And some Montana agates, these again were shown before but now are finished both sides 14X25mm and 21X31mm against black; and against white and a Montana agate pair each is 15X36mm against black; and with white behind By the way- these last two were sliced from the left-most stone in the first picture here: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=rocksidlib&action=display&thread=1152259464

Oooh. Love the Stone Canyon ( dang I need to cab some more of that if my friggin saw would quit messing up and let me slab some more). Not usually a fan of Montana Agate but darn yours are my favorites. Those cabs glow and are flat awesome!....mel

Wow, very nice Rally. They're all really nice, nice shape and a great shine. Again, the Stone canyon caught my attention. So that's what that red breccia looks like huh? I guess I'm going to have to cut a few more slabs off that rock, they turned out really nice. Nice photos too.

nicely done, I too had my 1st try with boulder opal - some good some not so good as far as fire is concerned but fun to work with nonetheless
