The new shop is up and alive at our house in Napa and cabochon production is slowly ramping up. A few of these were from before we moved in January but I don't think they got posted yet. If they did then go ahead and take a nap through those as you scroll down.

Starting off with some Burro Creek - all of these are from the same rock.

Horse Canyon moss - can't decide which view I like better.

Needles Blue gem silica - shape gets a little wonky because of the hardness difference between the agate and the matrix. I have learned not to fight this material too hard and just let it take the shape it wants.

Gary Green 'ellipso' jasper

Cotton Candy agate from roy

Galaxy rhyolite - I posted this in the cab contest.

Mescalaro "blue dream" from the Dead Camel mtns

Mojave blue with zinc

McDermitt thunder egg

Wildflowers rhyolite

Hornitos jasper

Singleton Ranch I'm told

Owyhee jasper

Wingate Pass plume agate

Linda marie plume agate

Apache Canyon

Linda Marie - I posted this in January's cab contest

Blue Biggs

Cedar City agate

Cosmo agate from same location in Cedar City

Thanks fer lookin

Edited to add three that I missed:

Deschutes jasper

Josephines Crown

Wildflowers Rhyolite

That Blue Biggs is a fave, but so is the moss, but so is...ahh, nevermind. I think the photo of the Burro Creek cab in contrast with the rough rock is pretty awesome.

That are all beautiful. Can't pick a favorite, but I have to say the Burro Creeks with the druzy vugs sure did float my boat!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Like others have said... Hard to pick a favorite. If pressed, I might have to pick the Blue Biggs and Deschutes. Interesting Hornitos. Haven’t seen it with that much white before.

I know you and Charley are best buds but I can't remember - have you met Roxie yet? Quartzsite 2018 when we saw you last it was way too brief and stormy like crazy.
