Here's the latest set of stones I've worked up. I started this grouping Monday and still have 4 large ones to finish. The set ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5478.jpg) Medfordite Poppy (Oregon) ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5479.jpg) Owyhee Sunset Jasper ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5481.jpg) Owyhee Gem ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5483.jpg) Rainforest Jasper ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5480.jpg) Hornitas Poppy (Dead Horse Pit, from Mel) ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5482.jpg) Blue Biggs Jasper ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5487.jpg) ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5489.jpg) ![](http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp206/danheuer/DSCF5490.jpg) Deschutes Picture Jasper - The first one is for Roadcut.

Another fantastic set HPD. I have to admit that I had very high expectations when I saw that you switched from MGD to coffee this time around.

The coffee was the clue (or is it tea?)... these are unique and outstanding, a pleasure to view. Jo

Yet another great looking bunch. I'm really digging your freeform shapes, that first blue Biggs and first cocoxenite are my faves mostly due to their shapes.

Did you enter that contest yet? That Biggs better be in the set, man that is killer! Looking at them all together you can see how large the rainforest jasper and deschuttes is, man they are awesome! I think roadcut will love his cab! Ok, I have embarrassed myself plenty that I am not afraid to ask, WHAT IS CRYPTICAL ENVELOPEMENT? lol I think it means you are locking them up safely to ship to me, LOL!!!!! (just kidding) Great set as always! Amber ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Geebus, that's some great rough and beautifully proportioned and polished cabs! Nice to see some pros doing some edgy freeforms, awesome work.
