Turned out great! Nerves would leave me exhausted on that one, trying to make sure not to dig too deep into the zoisite. Nice flash!

Great job on that, Tela! That had to take a lot of time and nerves to get right. You killed it!

Great job on that, Tela! That had to take a lot of time and nerves to get right. You killed it! I got it in the mail today, precabbed it and hit the wheels before I could stop and talk myself out of it! LOL! I just went for it. I knew if I waited, I would just second guess myself right out of doing it. I did stop and think about how to do it, though. I left just enough zoisite around it to get a dome without going into the ruby too much. After the outline, I started on the third wheel so the ruby never saw any deep scratches. |

A true piece of art. Never second guess yourself, as you are a true artist with stone.

Wow, this is stunning! I really really like it! I love it two-fold: first of all because it is really flawlessly done, you really are a master of your art. And secondly because Zoisite the mineral was named after a scientist from my country (or this territory, it had a different name back then). So it's a little pet of mine!  Thanks for this, you made me smile of this rainy day. |

Thanks for this, you made me smile of this rainy day. Yes, from wiki: The mineral was described by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1805. He named it after the Carniolan naturalist Sigmund Zois, who sent him its specimens from Saualpe in Carinthia.[4] Zois realized that this was an unknown mineral when it was brought to him by a mineral dealer, presumed to be Simon Prešern, in 1797. [Slovenia is old Carniolan] Thank you. We learn something new everyday.  Sigmund Zois, Baron von Edelstein (1747-1819) |

"Baron from gem?" (or, literally "precious or royal stone") Great work on that one, Tela. . Even his surname was "Gemstone"! |
