Wow! The big one in the center first caught my eye. Then the rest one at a time. All are winners. Thanks!

I love that celestial sonora- haven't seen or heard of it before. Is it natural?

I love that celestial sonora- haven't seen or heard of it before. Is it natural? Its a naturally forming material made up of azurite, cuprite, chrysocolla and other copper minerals...but I had to stabilized it before slabbing, as it was very soft and crumbly given the nature of those materials. I bought it years ago and new the make up and that it was from Sonora....but my wife named it. Unfortunately, I got one piece and have never seen it again. |

Reminds me of Apache Chrysocolla. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/20119/apache-chrysocolla-cab-12-6 It's pretty rare. |

Nice selection of materials, and work. I really like the pastels of the Mescalero jasper.
But I gotta ask... Isn't FEB28 still 2 days away?
Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming!
