Can't cab, so I cut some small trimmers. Been meaning to do this for awhile. I'm not great at freehand esp with a flexible thin 5" blade, but I think I did alright with the wonky rough I had. All of these are much nicer in person. Kitchen light.

Some chrysoprase, prase and some nice chrysocolla.

some larvakite and a few wonky ciuts of rutilated quartz. I cut them to have something to cab, bt wasn't too worried about a flat slab. I needed to preserve the orientation of the rutile. The last is some howardite.

Josephine's crown, Norwegian thulite, some juicy rhodonite I bought from Australia, much much more pink in person, and a red horn coral.

some really nice bone Pictures do it no justice! An agate of some kind, some Peru red green blanket, and another agate of some kind. This was a small nugget with the pattern on the diagonal. Fun cutting.- NOT.

and some really nice copper matrix.

Got my practice in!

And I ALMOST got my rock fix. I think it's supposed to be 75 this week- Thurs I think. YAY!

That's what I thought it might be, but I wasn't sure. Maybe I shouldn't have cut it? You couldn't see the pattern very good the way it was though.

Nice slabetts, Tela!

The rutilated quartz is awesome. Especially the first one from the right.

"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."
