Some of my favorite stone types. I want to eventually sell some stuff, but I'll probably go under the bridge to live before I'll let go some of my opals and laces...and bots, and jaspers, and agates of all kinds.... I mean when I'm dead they'll probably find me with piles of cabs and slabs to the ceiling and a million yogurt cups with dopped stones ready for the wheel, and no room to move but by narrow paths between the slab columns And the hell of it is, I don't feel sick....

Tony, you did great on these. The Koroit is my fav.
So, did you do anything special while doing these? Watch Lifetime and the soaps, eat chocolate and icecream, do your hair and put on lipstick?

Tony: Well honey as an exercise in letting go of your work, you should send them to me, of course all you get in return is the pain and suffering of dealing with me and my ramblings, and my unending love and devotion to my other Tony, my favorite GA peach!!!!!! LOL Especially #4 and #5!!!!! Very nice work!!!!! Let them go to PA, set them free!!!! Amber

Tony, that was funny. At least when they are wrapped you don't have the urge to wear them. These wraps are beautiful. The second Koroit and the Bots are my favorites.

Tony they may find you amongst your cabs, slabs, unfinished cabs, dobbing sticks and wax they will find a very contented individual. With your tomb stone will be in the shape of large dob stick adorning a unfinished cab...noting 'Dobbed in Peace'

Great job Tony. I especially like the way you had the wire follow the pattern in the stone on the first two agates. Amber and I were just at an auction for an old rock hound. Based on how many rocks they sold I'm not so sure he could have even moved once he got in his shop. What a way to go!

Thanks, folks, for the kind comments! And I'll have you know I am comfortable with my feminine side, Jo. I eat chocolate and ice cream all the time And I have no problem wearing my wraps to test them out, Lori. I'll wear them 24/7 to make sure they are secure and won't poke and stick... and to imbue them with my manly scent so the women will have a sudden urge to want one, and not know why The power of pherimones, lol! ........I don't know that it is working yet...., yeah.... I'm pretty sure it isn't working yet....mostly it just seems to turn the copper....but I'm patient....... T

I missed this batch Tony. I really love that last Koroite! It really turned out great and all the swirls just match the cab so well! Fran

That first Koroit is so beautiful, it seems to have gold spots and it goes so well with the wrap! This one together with the Botswana and with the 2nd Koroit are my favs.
