Oh my gosh Paul!!! That is an absolute stunning cab! The tacos must've had something to do with it!!!

What a fantastic "start to finish" of all YOUR work and efforts - from hounding to finished product. I think that part is really special!

Excellent way to end the year! (drooling)

"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."

I think it is great that you self collected the material! I love Jasper (mostly because I don't find much Agate), and I have never seen this particular type. Such color. Even with your description I still cannot imagine how large (or small) the end result is however.

I see a small Chinese emperor riding a Pixiu. But that's just me.

Thanks for sharing!
