Picture jasper Koroit Labradorite. It has a great flash that travels all around the surface, but it is near impossible to catch it via camera. Crazy Lace Don't know what it is. The top is gold outlined in black. Really cool stuff. Another look. Koroit opal And some of the quartz stuff I find locally. Thanks, Tony

Oooh, ahhh, wow! These are really nice Tony! That crazy lace has a fantastic pattern in it and the picture jasper is really cool too. Then again, that one with the gold and the local stuff...OK, they are all great! That labradorite looks wonderful and is a reminder that I need to get the courage to work on the ones you sent to me. Waiting for a part and I will be back in business. Thanks for the eye candy! Fran

Nice cabs Tony. Its good to see you back on the grinder after your fire incident. I like labradorite too, actually all feldspars with the shiller effect.

Many thanks you fine folks!! And Happy Merry to all of you. MaryAnn... when am I going to see some cabs from you? YOu need to nudge Ralph aside every once in a while and get time for grinding Tony...thanks.. I didn't know that about the feldspar. To bad the granite around here that is full of feldspar doesn't flash as good. John... thanks but I think I'm rather more like the sub basement footman Curt ... it is like cutting butter. Easiest stuff I work. And doesn't tear up easy either. Amber... you know I post 'em just for you They were rescues. I'm getting to the ones that are bad now... lots of work to do on them scraping off plastic and grinding off haze. Fran... just get to doing them... I'll send more if you mess them up. Roxy... thanks...yeah, your taste is my taste. The lace and that opal are my favs. too!
