No interruptions today. I had many hours to sit and play with rocks. I managed 7 and there's one here from the other day. The problem is... for some reason, even though these are all great cabs, they didn't photograph well. Esp the Sonora sunrise and Picasso. Oh well.... Rawley Mine Chrysocolla Gary Green- large Indonesian Bird's Eye Palm Root- this is a really cool stone in person, it's also the highest dome that I've done, yet. Picasso Stone Polka dot agate Really, really, uber sweet rhodonite- 1/2 translucent and raging pink! I have 2 small pieces left Sonora Sunrise- much nicer in person- hematite divides the colors and the cuprite is much brighter Sonoran chrysocolla also better in person. Unfortunately the white stuff didn't polish well and appeared after grinding started. Thanks for looking

Very neat cabs! I think the palm is my favorite and it looks like you got the high dome perfect. High domes always give me fits..Mel

All of those are sweet, Tela but I can't decide whether I like the Picasso or the Palm Root the best. Beautifully done!!!

That's a terrific set despite the problem photographing them. That Gary Green is awesome, love the dark grey in it. The palm and the rhodonite are also faves.
