Well if you made it this far you are almost to the end. Just a few more.

Turritella agate. This was a much bigger piece but had lots of fractures. I managed to keep one whole shell in it though.

Unknown agate. Love this shape.

Another unknown agate. I didn't do very good on this shape. Big difference in hardness between the colored and the clear parts.

Yet another unknown agate.

An unknown from rockhobbit. I'm not sure I've seen this color green in a stone before.

Looks plumy to me. The green in this one is so dark its almost black. (do you get the idea I like green?) lol

Unknown.

The next two are varcasite. It was to be one cab but broke. It worked out well as my daughter fell in love with it and asked me to make a necklace out of it for her.

Well you made it to the end. Thanks for looking.
Tony

You're getting good use out of the RTH cabber, apparently it went to the right person. Did you swap out the wheels and go all diamond?

Beautiful! My favorites here are the ones in the second and in the fourth pics.

PS. What's the blue stuff in turritella and in the 2nd variscite? Does it come from the polishing wheel/pad you use? That happens to me, too and sometimes I find very difficult to remove it.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.
