Thanks Dan for the new pic and for the video. That deep blue is beautiful and the shine reminds me the tiger eye shine.

Nice job Dan. That's some fun stuff to play with. It really starts flashing as you're working it on the finer grits.

Thanks for the great compliments folks! Adrian - I understand that it's exactly the same as Tigereye, only it doesn't form in bands like TE. Need to cut more slabs now....  Dan |

So cool! I love it! The shape really does accentuate the pattern in the rock. Nice job!

Very nice, Dan. I oohed when I saw the slabs. In your very capable hands, I see I was right.
Good work.

Dan it was worth it. The color is just great! I bought a piece the other day at my only local rock shop. It was almost all gold in color and was $10 a pound. I'd pay what you paid for stuff this nice.
