Way to go Ed! You nailed the Fall colors on that first one! I love both of them, but that second pendant is super cool!  |

Good morning Mr Mohs! I see you have graced us with 2 more gorgeous hearts. As much as I love fall colors, I love Indian green moss agate even more. Nice plump heart, too. |

The moss agate heart is outstanding. Sometimes moss agate is difficult to work with but you killed it. Thanks for sharing.

Right on  Grieg I almost made that heart a career Geez I grind and I grind Trying to reduce the size In the pre-forming stage I’ve gotten pre-form grind shy Because of breaking points So that the maximum size To the thickness of the slab That could be efficiently double domed Thanks Everyone I now move on to other rock’n heart projects.. |

Both hearts are amazing, and well done. The green moss, especially looks great.
I’m a little concerned, though. Both sides are the same material. Are you feeling OK?

Thanks Stephan
Trying to make that seam seamless
Especially on same stone
Is a new challenge!
Many may call it anathema
Slicing a perfectly good stone in half
2 re-seam,
it seems ?
but for mohs fevered mind
it’s the only way I knohs to
rock the heart
mostly

Beautiful. No one would ever be able to pull off the complexity of the cleavage on the heart pendants without using your technique. I like them both equally.

Ya got me thinking NevadaBill Bill 2part heart method does make for some interesting cleave work and ya got me trying a different technique on this rock heart I’m presently crafting its style that can only be done in 2parts and I haven't mastered the technique yet Thanks Ed |

Ed, both are perfect, and the lacy green rock grabbed my heart! Thanks for sharing your work.
