Hey everybody, been quite a while since I worked a rock. Been a busy summer. My daughters and I went to a local show this morning, and I picked up a piece of "Rare" Moroccan amber for $2... I'm guessing it's not too rare! ;D I broke a small chunk off at a fracture, and worked it by hand. Final polish was done rubbing it on my jeans lol. Took about 2.5 hrs with a few coffee breaks taken. Was a nice relaxing sit in the sun. Hopefully I'll find more time to grind more rocks real soon. Heres the lil cab, about 5/8" high Has a nice rich color backlit Thanks for looking, Nate

I saw you were back Amber. Good to hear from you again. It's been a few months for me, but I bet there's already some rust there.

Hey, Nate! It's good to see you! Pretty cool that you can do a cab anywhere, with your jeans, lol. I love the richness amber expresses. T

That is so cool and from what I understand, that stuff is best to work by hand. Really looks cute! Fran
