These have been underway for a while, a few of them came out pretty nice if I do say so myself;
(clickable thumbnails)
First some tiger eye, with a band of hemetite
I think these might be tiffany stone, or something like it anyway, I picked this up from someone at the Burro Creek field trip
The last 2 remnants of the piece of Pietersite that Stoner gave me last year
These two came from a heel I bought at Gaumers last fall;
Not sure what this stuff is, I think this came from the 50cent/lb sale too
Another piece of the green and red OJ I got at the Valley Springs Pow-wow
Some green moss agate from the 50cent sale
Montana agate
Same as above- backlit, some nice almost iris effect on this one
Rainforest Jasper, again from the 50 cent sale;
Here's a piece of stuff that was presented to me as being Lapis, but its either low grade or else something else- it doesn't stink like good lapis, nor does it drip "ink" when its being ground, but it does have nice little sparklies, and a really nice blue color.
the other two (purple ones) are Burro creek agate from the 50 cent sale.
Next up I'll cut some from my recent slabbing frenzy...
