You've gotten really good on these! My favorite of the last 3 is the blue Jim. My guess is that the first stone is a tigereye, cut diagonally. I've cut some tigereye this way - you don't get the chatoyancy, but it makes for a nice effect. Thank you! The blue Jim is even better in person. Cant capture when the light hits it. I have lots of tiger eye and this seems more like a jasper to me ? I have to get a better picture. This one isnt picking up the orange in it very well |

With the stripe/band + color, my first thought was carnelian agate. Can be quite sleepy/hazy and definitely can be that butterscotch color.

jamesp glass that was knapped by Willie So happy with how it came out. I can see why you are proud of yourself. Others will be proud of this fine creation too. It's killer(as the knapper's always say because points can kill I suppose. Please let me post it on my knapping group p-l-e-a-s-e, I'm begging here. If OK, what is your contact info ? Should be safe on the knap group, doubt there will be many copy catters but one never knows. |

We sent messages back and forth, but no deal as of yet. Hoping my creation makes this possible. It will take most of today, on and off, to complete. I was able to make it not a lethal weapon, lol. |

Don't know how I missed this update. You did a great job on that point, Ali! I've been so blasted busy and battling the crud for the last week that I haven't had a chance to play with mine yet.  Hopefully I'll get a chance soon. |

Hopefully I'll get a chance soon. I am patiently waiting to see what you do with it. He is so good and has been cranking out some new ones. I am trying to talk him into doing birds and animals |
