I spent the day in front of the grinder looking out at the cold weather. I was glad I was in a cold garage, partially drenched and standing in a puddle. I put on some soft music for ambiance; in this case my favorite album: Noisy rock saw. It kept me company while it worked on some Picasso Jasper (which is really cool by the way). The mood was right- for cabbing! Here they are (Sorry for the photo quality. It was dark by the time I got done so I couldn't take them outside). Hope you like them.

Brecciated jasper. I've got a lot of this stuff so you will probably be seeing more of this. I like it a lot. This one has a pit but it didn't stop me. Heck, if you aviod pits, you would never have cherries, and those a re yummy!
Little dryhead and little Ocean Jasper. The dryhead looks better in person. I managed to grind right down to the crystaly center so it sparkels just under the surface.
Three more Ocean Jasper fellows. I almost ground off the orb on the triangle one, but I wasn't going to give up.
Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper. The big one I almost gave up on because of a big crack, but I ground down until it was better. Notice the points coming from some of the orbs. This is pretty unusual Morgan Hill jasper.
Guadalupe Jasper.
Crazy lace agate. I spent a long time working on this because I knew it would come out good if I went slow and did it right.

there i was, minding my own business, scrolling down, thinking, "wow, that one is nice, ooo, that one is cool...." and then i got to the bottom and had just enough time to gob up the drool from hitting the keyboard with a paper towel when i got to that lace......holy moly!!!
