Beautiful! And your shine.... I wouldn't have guessed turitella could shine like that! Excellent work. And your photography - great way to show off the shine, to give us reflections like that! Amy

Wow, Adrian! You did amazing things with that slab! MUCH better than my little WF cut & tumbled pieces!! I don't know if anyone remembers, but when I first starting cutting on my WF, I thought I had set my hair on fire while I was cutting the turitella! It definitely smells like burning protein. Adrian probably got a double dose of the smell, since he burned off some skin while making his cabs!

Wonderful Job! I can't wait for a pic of Ina wearing the complete set!

Surprise: to cause to feel wonder or astonishment by being unexpected. Happens every time I crack (now cut!) a rock.

That is some nice T and you worked nice patterns into the pieces. Your shine is killer!

Impressive! Ok, here's the deal... if you have gone back to grinding while that hand still burns like fire.. then you are officially hooked, and if is all over for you Tony

I really like the look of Turitella.

I had some fun with a piece that I cut like a button. It has a raised center. Since this picture was taken I did manage to polish it better where the lip of the raised part is. Here you can see it is not polished there very well.

Actually this picture does not do the cab justice. It really looks quite nice now.
