Hello again,
Well ... how am I doing?
Lets see if you like these ...
This is Ribbon Agate and it has some gorgeous coloration.
This is Montana Dendritic Agate. It looks like a reflected shoreline, with the red schrubs next to the water.
This is a cab of Plume Agate. I wish I had more of this material, with the light gray to dark gray colors which totally surround the plumes. Nice stuff.
This is a piece of Petrified Wood from the South Platte River just north of Denver, Colorado. The picture is a little fuzzy ... but, can you see the Chinese Dragon in the center of the cab? I love to cut cabs that have some sort of picture or image in them. I have a necklace that has a spectacular image of a woman's quarter profile in it ... that was cut from the exact same piece of rough that this cab was cut from. I'll see if I can get it located (it is going to the craft show in Denver in a week and a half). I'll definitely have to get a photo of the necklace for you ... her hair is incorporated into the wood grain ... well, I can't decsribe it as well as a photo can ... so keep an eye out for the photo's. I call it "The Lady of the Forest".
Well ... what do you think? I wish I was a better photographer ... as I would love to be able to keep the reflections off of the stones and show their true beauty!
Enjoy the photo's and take care,
John
