Nice material, and nicely worked.
But,..... thus far, I like Donnies heart best. Or at least from the cabs that have been shown from your material.
Nevertheless, that first one is world-class all on its own.

Jean cut the 3 bluish cabs from this slab(not a great photo). The coral that does not silicify completely leaves much more corallite/polyp history. It polishes better than expected too.

Great looking material, is the bluey stuff coral? Great cabs and the first is my fave. Those are all coral Tony. In various degrees of silicification.

Jean, if that coral came to life it would kiss your feet for making it so pretty.
James, I really don't know what to say. It seems like you keep coming up with better and better stuff. I tell you that your coral is over the top and then you top it. Can it get any better? I don't see how. Jim

Thanks Jim. I have a heck of a material to collect. I have been tinkering in those awkward rivers for many years and really have seen a lot. Some shoals that require over night canoe trips have incredible material. It is a hobby i can enjoy for years. It is a complicated thing to collect but is really kinda common if i had a helicopter to get to it LOL.
I tell you that Jean is a great machinist and lapidarian. She has a very high talent level aside from stirring up so much trouble.haha. I like it when she is away and can not defend herself.
