You've been a busy little bunny! I really like the cut on that Mozarkite.

Very cool Stefan, all are nice, but i like your freeform slabets the best. Nice deep red agate color and cool inclusions. Were you making a kinfe with that Mozarkite? And you know me, that woodward cabogone i wouldnt call druzy. That only applies if the quartz is left natural, uncut. When cut, its a quartz heart.

Very nice work, Stefan. Looks like you had to be dragged away from the grinder. Hope they were as fun for you to make as they were for us to look at.

Thanks all
Shain- The slab I had had a fracture on the end- I cut that sections off and I thought it kinda looked like a knife- (well the blade anyway) so I just followed the edges
The drusy cab actually has a nice drusy pocket- On the otherside of the cab (guess I shoulda flipped it over for the pic)

Couldn't get all the pics to load, Stefan, but that's a big batch.
You've got the opal touch.

Fossil algae looks to me like Indonesian fossil coral.
