Hey y'all,
My club's show (Ventura) is happening March 2nd and 3rd at the fairgrounds and I've been grinding away trying to fill the Kid's booth with polished material for the spinning wheel.
Yesterday I dropped off the first 45 prizes to the guy collecting the material:
Today I worked on a few more for both the kid's booth and my display. My larger machine went down so I had to downgrade to my Pixie which limited me to smaller material.
Kid's booth material:
I believe this is from Africa. I have a few of these red bordered - quartz filled nodules. All are severely fractured and broken in odd shapes - hence the curvy polish.
Strawberry Onyx from the Bristol Mountains near Ludlow CA
Fire Agate specimen:
Couple small Lagunas going as a pair:
Transition between Keep and Give:
Two Blue Forest Limbs from Wyoming:
I think I'm keeping the top specimen.
Paul Bunyan Plume Agate:
A few small Lagunas from my Beefjello purchase. I'm thinking I might put a bunch of my Mexican material in my case, from smallest in the front to the largest in the back. Wondering what it might look like.
A Laker:
I'm really loving these Mozambique agates:
Sorry for the ramble. Thanks for looking,
Lowell
