Yep, just need more tools, toys and time. |

Looks like very high silver content for ore.

Really nice job, greig! The silver plumes are so intricate. |

The rectangular one looks more like cast metal than shaped rock. Very cool looking!

These are interesting. I wonder what kind of setting (or wrap perhaps) these would work best with.
