I can't tell if my first post made it or not - it doesn't appear that it did, so I'll post this again.

I picked one of the little labradorite rocks that I took through the tumblers 3 times and still couldn't get a decent finish, and I shaped it and polished it on my expando wheel. So today I finally got around to wrapping it. It's in 21ga. argentium .930 silver wire. Hope you like it.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Great stone.

Mine never made it through tumbling to even be good enough to cab them after...You did it successfully and that wrap looks great with it! Fran

	No person should ask for more than the moments. They should accept what the rock gods offer and make no demands against the future

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
