Very nice work. The first cab is really pretty and you fit it perfectly into the setting, which is challenging. Cutting calibrated stones really takes a lot of patience and care. The Deschutes is a flavor they call "opalized." Judy Elkins had quite a bit of it out this summer when I was down. It is a little softer than the dark stuff, but has great dendrites. The Imperial and Obsidian took a fantastic shine. Dan

Beautiful work!! The red stuff in the first pics are Red and Green brecciated jasper from Africa. The rough came from Kim (Rockyraccoon). I was looking at a couple slabs of it last night, very cool stuff!

Dang, you are a rock star now! There are some beautiful pieces there. I think the 3rd from the last is my favorite, but I can't discount the shine on the obsidian. Ok, now less socializing and more cutting needed T
