(vomitstone, vomitstone, vomitstone) SORRY! i always thought Unakite was nice too until Doc called it (vomitstone, vomitstone, vomitstone). and i just can't get that out of my head now.
BUT, i got to add, that shine is phenomenal, especially with Cerium. and i love the finished shapes from concept to reality!
way to go Ron!

Those look nice. I was wondering what unakite looked like polished.
Thanks

You sure got me on that one. I didn't know there was Unikite in the States. That's what's great about this place. Ya learn sumptin new every day. Good lookin' shine there too!! You demonstrate alot of patience cutting that all up like that. I would use a 3 pound hammer and let randomness have it's way  Good work Ron!! -Banjo |

They look very nice , great shine. Is Unakite a form of granite?

Oooooo great job Ron, those look awesome, what a beautiful shine. I wonder if I have that around here. I've seen stones that look quite similar to the top pic, kind of pink and green but never paid much attention to it. I have this little piece that I found but the colors are really banded instead of blended like yours. Do you think it's along the same lines as the unikite?  Thought maybe the green was olivine or peridot but what do I know? ;D Cher |

Great job MR,
Unakite might be common in your area, but I've never seen it before. Looks great. That must have been quite the task to saw up... I'd have cheated and gone for the sledge. Your patience paid off well.

Love that Unikite! I can't believe you had the patience to cut up the whole thing in those small pieces, but it really paid off! Those look absolute fabulous! Guess I will have to add Unikite to my list! {My list is really getting long}
Great job.
Trish
