Got up early this morn and hit the grinder. I'm leaving tomorrow to spend a week in Las Cruces, so no more cutting for a few daze

On the bright side I intend to bring back a truck load of goodies from the hills out there! ;D

Ok, here's my latest

Imperial Jasper. A few fractures but oh well

Mahogany Obsidian. Not a lot of 'mahogany' but it's nice.. the first obsidian I've worked. Hard to get a good pic tho

Boulder Opal

Some kind of Amethyst with pink, green and white agate running through it (Any ID's on this?). This is my first double dome

Side B

Brown Springs Agate from the Verde

Lake Superior Agate. Fractured to begin with (I've yet to work any that wasn't). Even more so fractured when it went flying out of my hands during polish

Royal Sahara. A lot of glare on my pics today.. me thinks I need to build a light box

Thanks for looking!

I Wanna Rock!!!

The lake superior is awesome even with the fracture.

Great job on all of them.

I agree with the others the boulder opal is pretty awesome.

Wow Brian they are all nice. Hard to pick a fav. If you want a light box it might be easier to just buy one on ebay. I built one to photo woodturnings but was unhappy with it. $30 got me one off of ebay and I like it much better.

I love the blues, so that one really catches my eye - it's stunning! That might just be my favorite of this batch...with a 6 way tie for second favorite!
