Managed to get away to the shop a couple times over the holidays. Here are a few successes. Another cheetah agate. Really like this stuff. Made a glue-on ring for my daughter. (sorry for the blurry pic) Ochoco geode. Coquina or script stone. This stuff is way more soft than I expected. Had a few pits open on the finer wheels, and didn't get as shiny as I'd like, but still like it. Rhodenite My first bot Tiger's eye. My third attempt to get a shine. Amazonite. Love this stuff. (I may be repeating myself) A light blue agate; I picked up a few small stones at a sale a couple years ago. Finally, a couple cherry creek jasper. Really like working this stuff. It only takes a satin finish (so far), but it is really easy to work and offers a variety of looks. Thanks for looking. matt

Great set, Matt! The cheetah is beautiful, and I really like the shape you gave it. That second cherry creek is also stunning.

Very nice cabs and great assortment of eye candy. I'm loving that rhodonite.
