After a long time of just ignoring my geni, I finally spent a little time on it today. I promised a set of lapis to a co-worker. Now I will have to get it in the settings so I can finish with my obligation. I got 3 little pieces of St Johns flower agate from Blairrock for a really good price. I never could understand why people liked it so much because it is usually so fractured up. I was very happy with how this one turned out and now I understand why people love it! I had to finish up on a heel of Montana agate that had water marks in it and I had taken a heel back to the wheels of a laguna (I think). I am pretty happy with the final results I have so many things to finish. I need to make sure I get out there more often! Fran

OK now those are all awesome but man that's one fine example of St, Johns. Don't believe I've ever slabbed on that wasn't full of dang fractures....Mel

Oh so pretty! I love the SJF agate, too and the laguna- the laguna best, I think. All are beautiful.

Hey, Fran! Beauties all, but I'm always partial to lapis And the "spider web" laguna is very cool too. Yep, you need to chain yourself to the Genie on occasion, instead of depriving us of your talents. T
