Hi folks... Jamie sent me some very cool slabs not too long ago and I saved 'em for the grinder. I was able to work up a few cabs last week. First is Confetti Chrysocola... this one was a challenge due to the variations in hardness. I like this stuff!  These 2 came from the same slab of Porcelain Jasper. Sorry for the glare... I need to make a photo light-box....   Thanks for lookin' and thanks to Jamie & Rodney for the great slabs! Dan |

looking good. You got a nice shine on the confetti. Those varrying hardnesses can be tough. I usually have to do them twice; as I don't do them often enough.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I think I'll try some of Jamie's Chrysocola next. I've been saving that stuff as well.
Tweetie_ I didn't notice any smell from the Porcelain but the Confetti has a very pleasant smell, it's sweet, almost like perfume.
Thanks again
Dan
