Hi All!!!

I feel the rock love flowing through my veins.

I just got a carnelian batch going in the Lortone (and I was right about where I got this awesome batch .... WoodyRock on 2/6/09). These are pictures of the rufffff ...

Should take about 2 years ... hey I think its a close estimation ... ;D

The last two pictures are of a piece of carnelian that I think is a druzy ... input??? This little piece I am not tumbling. I really do love carnelian in its raw form ... no two pieces are even close to being similar and they always have surprises inside.

The next batch is a restart from the batch I stopped to service the Lortone. I still cannot ID what this rock is ... I know someone here can ...

You can stare at a rock for hours and never see the same thing twice.

I used a piece of pale blue poster board to take these pictures. I think it works well ..... input? As Always!

I suspect that second load is a crysacola secondary stone buy the little bits of blue/green bits. Good Luck! Fran

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
