Well this will probably be it for a while, gotta hide the grinder so I'll get some work done around here!

So I thought a few nice pieces of fire agate and a boulder opal would be enough to hold you all over until I decide I can't stand it anymore and have to grind a few more.
But first, here's a nice little sagenitic agate.

Fire Agate, two different angles

Another one, two different angles

And a boulder opal.

I hope you like them, thanks for looking.

You know, your opening post was just like a really great book with each picture/chapter getting better and better. And then it ended.

Now I have to keep going back over it again and again.

Those fire agates are powerful but that boulder opal just draws me in.

I know you are a man of your word but I hope you were just teasing us when you said it will be awhile before you do some more griding. This is as bad as waiting for the next Harry Potter book. Oh no, that's a bad analogy 'cause there isn't going to be another Harry Potter book. Don't stay away from that grinder for too long. Sometimes giving into temptation is a good thing. Think of the greater good here...we need to see beautiful cabs! ;D

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.

Thanks everyone. I'm trying not to have to put the grinder away, but I need to get some work done, and if it's set up, it's just too much of a temptation. It won't be for long though, I'm making progress in the garage. I just don't know where all this crap was being stored at the old house. I'll be back!
