Decided to venture out of my comfort zone and try some new material. These first two are purchases from Rodney and Jamie! Chrysocolla (need a little bit more practice with this stone ~ advice welcomed!): ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1030938.jpg) Mexican Flame Agate (This stuff is unbelievably awesome!): ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1030941.jpg) This one is an unknown. I was told by the person that sold it to me that it is some kind of Chinese Agate. The fall colors it contains are really cool, little tiny bit of purple too. It got a little external fracture on the right side while I was working it, grrrrrr: ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1030939.jpg) Thanks for checking them out!

My advice would be to give up your day job if you have one because you have this one down pat. Those are awesome and the shapes on the first two are perfect to my eye. We need to start calling you tntcabber. Jim

Me again Krystee If I sent a few slabs to you would you be willing to make a couple of cabs from them and post the pics? You could keep the cabs. I would just like to see some of this stuff that I have done right. Maybe it would inspire me to practice, practice practice. lol Message your address if you are interested and I will get the slabs in the mail
