I've been busy working on some doublets but managed to take some pics of what I made earlier in November.
Amethyst.
Another amethyst. My daughter claimed this one so I made it into a pendant and she wore it to her birthday party.
British Columbia jade. Not real shiny at this point. I have to figure out the best polish for it.
Bloodstone. This was one of Ralph's rejects that Amber got from Ralph and Mary Ann on our visit.
Pietersite from Catmandew. Love the blue stuff.
Boulder opal. I dare you to try and find the opal. lol
Another B.O. A little more opal here but no flash. I don't know why I keep cabbing this stuff, it is just so disappointing.
Unknown. Reminds me of some of the moonstone that is coming out of Canada. It has a blue flash.
Chilean lapis from Stonesthatrock.
Crinoid marble.
Fire agate. Funny story. I showed this to Amber when I fist started it and she pushed it aside and said "I don't like fire agate." After it was finished I showed it to her and it was one of her favorites of the batch. She was surprised to find it was the dreaded fire agate. lol I picked this up from Jamie and Rodney's yard during our visit.
Fordite. This is about 1/3 of one of the $1 pieces I got at a show. My daughter has claimed this one too.
Honduran opal. Not much color.
Mahogany obsidian. I got this in the $4 a pound bin at my local rock shop. It has some clear spots.
Medicine bow agate.
Painted Valley jasper. I got two nice big chunks of this at a auction back in spring. Its very solid for brecciated material.
Petrified palm.
Unknown picture jasper. Got this from Catman a while back.
Rainbow corrundum. I can never get a good shine on this stuff. Any suggestions?
Rainbow obsidian. Couldn't capture the color flash.
Red lace agate I got from Snowdog in a trade for a wood bowl back when I first joined here.
Pinksomethingorotherite.
Silver sheen obsidian. I cut it a bit off so it only flashes from an angle not straight on.
Tiger iron.
One of my colored doublets. I used grey and blue to try and give a sky effect with the white plumes.
Thanks for looking.
