First time working with this material.

Took a lot of precautions to ensure there was no dust and wore gloves.

First photo is the reverse side side of the slabette I started with.

Lots of Dremel work to shape. Put in my stash of cabs ready to polish. Then into tumbler. It has been rolling for about a month so far. Guessing there is another month to go.

It sort of looks like a baby seal to me (head is at bottom of photo). All I was going for was a flowing free form shape.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

Looking good! It does look like a seal.

"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."
~ C.S. Lewis

Added a photo to show the dome. The "seal" is resting on what I think is a coral fossil. Self found on my land.

20 or even 18g copper would be good.
