I wasn't going to post these as it would have been too much, but after working backstage on the first day of three at a music fest, I am dirty, sweaty, and my ears ring. The only good thing is that I met Terri Clark, she is a doll and couldn't keep her hands off me (ok I lied, I am not really all that dirty, HA!). So I thought why not, besides i have a story to tell about them. WWR brown moss on top and unk pict Jasper from Robert. Unk Jasper from Robert, and freeforms from WWR. Unk from Robert, my youngest came by last night and I told her to take her pick thinking she would want something to make a necklace from, no she picked that one and wanted a bracelet, it is 20x30 and the largest decent bracelet I can find has a 18x15 setting I don't think either one of us would be happy with it smaller so will see if I can find someone to wrap one for me. The next is wonder stone, after working with it I can understand where it got it's name. And lastly a repost, txtiger asked about the tumbling cabs so I posted part of the reason. Gil commented that one looked like eagle peak. When I first saw it I thought so to and had visions of taking a picture of it laying on top of a picture of the peak from the cabin then either sending the rock to Jan and Trey or taking it next year. The Morgan hill was one of my favorites.

THE EGG SHAPED ONE IN THE 2ND PIC AND THE PINK+BROWN ONE IN THE 3RD ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! (Sorry for shouting, I did it for you to hear me after that loud music ) Adrian

Those are just beautiful! Did you find the wonderstone really soft (in that it still ground down on the finer belts?- mine didn't take a polish, yours looks awesome)

The unknown pic jasper in the first pic may be chicken tracks if the slab was only about 2 inches wide and had some triangular spikes on one of the long edges that is a good tell; about this big ^ Nice looking cabs

Thanks all, not sure kim. It was a gift labled wonderstone. I do have a piece of Mook and though it has been a while since I saw it rough, the only way I can think of to describe the difference was that the wonderstone had a more grainy surface.

Nice job Mark. Don't feel bad about the Morgan Hill cracking, it's just an bad habit of that material. Damn faultline!
