Hello everyone,

Tim (azrockgeek) is a fellow sphere maker. We got to chatting and he generously offered to send me a box of stones. Thank you kindly Tim!

Sorry for the overexposed cell phone images. I dont have time to set up the real camera.

Dude, what is the little cobble at the bottom. Love the pyrite/quartz stuff. Is the blue stone a blue travertine? or is it really a layered granite?

another angle on the pyrite/quartz stuff. Whas this collected on the Page area trip?

Tim; I'll reciprocate as soon as I find something you don't already have! Maybe some black jade with hematite inclusons. That is if I can get to it this winter.

Tonight is class and I plan to make lots of cubes. I want to get ahead on the cubes so I can finish a large qty of spheres before xmas.

Thanks again Tim!

You got those spheres made yet. :-)

I am glad you like the rocks, the bottom one in the top picture is massive garnet with feldspar crystals. Maybe someone out there can let me know what the official name of it is, they should all make good looking spheres. Keep us updated.

Tim
