It has been a long time since I had the time to cut some slabs or preforms. I finally took the time this past Sunday. Check it out! Couple more slices from a thunder egg I had gotten from Maryann Preforms from some picture jasper and biggs Cut out some Chrysopraise Cherry Orchard or Bloodstone agate, Coquina Script Stone and then variegated Tigerseye from Randy Some softies, Angelite, maraposite flourite and lepidolite if memory serves correctly. Cottonwood pass agate This set is really cool but I cannot remember the name right now Thanks for looking! Fran

Oh Fran, those are all truly beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product. I love that Indian Script stone, just so much going on in it.

I was hoping to work on a few of these this past weekend with no luck! I hope to get out there some time this coming weekend. Tonight, it is canning pesto...I had so much Basil, I have to toss a bunch, just can't deal with all of it! Fran

OK, now I'm really scratching my head. The cuts are astounding enough, especially that thunderegg, and now you say you're actually getting Basil during this nationwide heatwave? I don't even bother with it any more down here in New Orleans, it goes directly from seed to bolt! You must have the touch!
