Heres the latest of my dremel cabs. Have to rework some and smooth up others but since I'm bored to death at work I figured I'd go ahead and post them anyways. So here they are.
Brazilian Agate- a little less blue in person than in the picture.
Self collected river gravel- wasnt big rock and outside was heavily beat up (like alot of the gravel) but surprisingly the single slice I was able to make was fracture free.
Pietersite - last bit of cheap little slab I got off ebay. Still need to smooth it out and touch up the shape a bit.
Moroccan Agate-
Another Moroccan Agate-
Ghost agate- pattern is bit washed out. Little easier to see in person than in picture.
Quetzal Agate- after looking at this picture I dont like how pointed the top is. Gonna round it out more I think.
Quetzal Agate- now looking at this picture I think there may be a fracture on left hand side. Dont recall seeing any fracture when working it. Hopefully not, but if so then will have to completely rework this one.
That's all for now. Hopefully, will have batch out of the lotto by this weekend but been having a damn hard time keeping the moisture at right level so doesnt get all gummed up and slow the action in barrel. Never had trouble with moisture level beyond the Initial 120/220 stage before. But this time the 500 and 1200 stage both have needed to add water every 8 or so hours it seems. Anyhow, thanks for looking and any/all comments are welcome!
