Another awesome batch Ed! I love the second one ( suspect it's from the Morgan Hill deposit just without orbs). The Smithsonite is a first for me in that color. I've only seen it in yellow green. The purple is fantastic! You got me curious so I looked it up and, besides the purple it comes in mint green, blue and pink too. What a suite of stones that would make..mel

The unknown Jasper is awesome. It looks like a boomerang, sort of.

Thanks everyone. Mel, I picked up some of the pink and the green Smithsonite, and in one rock, both colors are present. I need to play with this stuff to figure out the best way to cut and cab it.
That old wheel won't retire Rich, because this old wheel is too lazy to clear off the grinder and take it apart to replace it!

wow ed those are all very nice, so nice I can't even pic a fav.

And I know what you mean about old wheels hanging around - before I replaced my 280 nova it was taking me up to 90minutes to finish a cab. With the new 280 I'm cranking 'em out in about 20minutes. So get up off your butt and show that wheels who's boss!

Great Pictures! You really show off your work with the presentation. I especially like the Fire Agate. The boomerang looks pretty cool also.

Hey stoner I have looked at the pics so long I am seeing things.
It could be the rum tonight
