This one is just because it was there, and I couldn't figure out anything else to do with it ..... Front Back I think the stone is rhodochrosite. Thanks for looking ... Tom

That's cute! I will only recommend that you push the wire ends to the inside of your swirls. Don't want it to snag on clothes. How did that rhodocrosite hold together for you when you cabbed it? I have a lot of that dopped and ready to go but I have not worked them yet. Fran

Well, Fran ..... this one was originally about 30% bigger - I got fed up trying to get a shine on it using the expando and pads, so I threw it into my vibe batch of beach rocks, and this is what came out! I found it when I separated the soft stones from the hard ones in the batch, after the batch had gone all the way up through M-5 polish, but before I gave it chrome oxide polish. Maybe I caught it at just the right time? ;D
Also, when I finished wrapping it, the wire ends WERE on the inside of the swirls! Then I decided I had the front at the back and the back at the front, and messed around with it some more, and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!
I don't want to do any more little ones. It hurts both my fingers and my eyeballs!
Tom
