Rhodo is one of my all time favorites, it cabs like butter and always is so nice if you have a good piece, I like the heart!

Nice work. The heart looks great. I can't imagine that's an easy shape to do.

This was the first time I cut this material and I was suprised at how soft it is.

Nice work on these. Good looking material too, looks gemmy. I did a small cab of rhodochrosite last night. It sure is fun to cut.

Yes Fran they are on the small side. The heart is 19mm x 18mm x 7mm and the freeform is 20mm x 13mm x 6mm so one is a little under 3/4" and the other is a little over 3/4" in height

Thank you. Cutting the Rhodo was a new experience for me. Really soft material. I was not expecting that.
