I have been doing other things lately, but here and there I have gotten a few wraps done. Here's what I have done over the last month or so. Sweet Guadalupe jasper  Vein #1 Prudent Man agate in gold fill  Finnish spectrolite- this stone is only 19x15mm  Kyanite- Love the icy blue and cornflower blue color shift  Hornitos Poppy jasper. These are real popular in my shop.  A beautiful dendritic mookaite from Drummond Island Rocks Thanks, Chuck!  Hell's Canyon pet wood  a small rhodochrosite bulls eye  ... and this is for beefjello As always--- Thanks for looking! |

That cab came from one small piece. When I was finished, I noticed that one of the holes was really, really close to the edge, so I filled it with crazy glue. How do you suppose I should disclose that? |

How do you suppose I should disclose that? I guess just explain that a small area opened up during the jewelry making process and filler was used. Then a closeup photo of that area with a circle around it? Chuck |

Chuck Yeah, I was thinking of throwing out the term stabilized, which is what it was. I don't want to NOT mention it. |

rockjunquie All of the cabs are fantastic but the rhodochrosite bulls eye is one in a million. I have cut a fair amount of rhodochrosite and if I could have ended up with a cab like that I would have asked big money for it................................. I take that back, my young bride would own it! You did a great job both cutting and wrapping.............................MrP

I'm really sorry that I have to say that I bought it that way.  It's a polished slice. I do have a nice slab with a killer bulls eye in it. I'm afraid to cut the slab, though. One day, I know I will, but I was able to pick this one pretty cheap- cheaper than my slab. I only got lucky. The other side has a nice bulls eye, too. |

Beautiful. Thanks for posting some more of your amazing work. I finally got everything in place to try some wire wrapping after being inspired by your work.
And I wanted to mention that wonderful mookaite jasper.

I can't wait to see what you do.  |
