Pulled a new batch out of the lot-o. Mixed stuff, possibly dalmation stone and some hearts Thanks for looking Bill Whole batch A rock I got from a local bead shop that also had a few rocks. Owner had no idea what it was. She was going out of business. It was $2.00. I crushed it with a hammer and to my surprise it was cool and spotted on the inside. I don't know my rocks well. Possibly dalmation stone? All the hearts in this batch. Thanks to members here who sold me the slabs Some of my favorites Bill

That's a beautiful variety of hearts! The stones aren't dalmatian, some of those appear to have dendrites so I'm not really sure what they are but they're really cool!

That's a great batch. I like the shape of your hearts better then the standard cabochon template hearts we have been making. Yours are puffier.

That mystery stone came out really nice. I'm looking forward to the ID. Those hearts are superb.

Wow, Bill those are some sweet hearts! Very cool that you are able to enjoy two venues as it were. That tigereye one is way cool. Those tumbles with the dendrites are some beautiful material, great batch! Bill

I love that white dendritic stone, kind of like Deluxe Dalmation Stone. I wonder what it is?

Thanks everyone. Still no ID on the white stones with dendrites. I may post them separately in a new thread if no one chimes in here. For you other heart creators I look forward to seeing yours Bill

Yeah I like the white dendritic stuff, it seems to have taken a nice shine and looks pretty stable.
Nice batch!
