Had to post this, a friend of mine showed me and I wanted to show them off.

Walt (manofglass) made them and I think they're really good.

Money clips, one with Goldstone and the other with Sunset Jasper.

Love the Sunset Jasper.

This is a double sided cab that belongs to mike

To cut the green stone I put 330 epoxy on the stone
To slab the stone then I put a coat on the back side of the slab
Really soft stone mike can tell you what the green stone is
The other stones are goldstone and crazy lace agate

Walt did an amazing job on this!
The green stone is Turkish Rainforest Opal from roy.
Walt slabbed some up for me and decided to make this for me to wrap...

Walt manofglass you have been holding out on us! I would love to see more of your work.

Robin

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis
