I promise to not bore you anymore after this until next weekend (I'll be gone until then, HA)

Red and Black plume from Woodward. Small and thin. Looks like I did not clean the paste off very well.

Cut the yellow Kansas Dendritic today. There was a vein of milk opal so made it big.

I don't remember,from Robert. Very soft and the left one gave me fits, both in shaping and pitting. I would fill them and then the next stage made more all through 1200, I finally gave up.

If you are counting yes there was another, but was a mate to a freeform Chrysocola for ear rings. I learned a LOT with that one, but you have already seen the mate.

Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Beautiful work from this perspective, Spike. And listen, if any of them are bothering you because they didn't turn out to your satisfaction, you can just send them over here and I will take good care of them for you.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

And the dendritic looks even better. That and the white one you did make one helluva pair! Rich

I don't have a hat or cap in the house that fits me anymore thanks to you guys, you are giving me the big head

.

I really appreciate the encouragement, I was gone for a few days to a very important wedding, and was not sure exactly when I would be back. Btw I don't usually post in Life and universe but really need to pass something along from the wedding.

That was a terrible pic of the red and black plume, I will do better next time.

I'm glad you liked them, and thank you for the kind words.
