Here's another from Walt, I can't remember what type of agate it is, if anyone knows please chime in.

I'm having a hard time listening to this stone- I can't hear what shape it wants to be.
But I like it.

Funny, I thought the same thing.
But that spot on the middle left is pretty soft. I need to work on it some more this evening and see if that will keep me from doing just that.

The world could always use another beautiful heart.

And yes Mike it wants to be a heart

Ok I'm going with carnelian until someone says otherwise, thanks!

And it sounds like I'm going with heart-shaped. Keep your fingers crossed for me please

I have another piece that is the same as the first photo, it's way more beautiful than it first appeared once I started working it.

But maybe someone will want an imperfect heart 😁

Awesome! Lots of asymmetrical freeform hearts around. I love them all!

"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."
