Got a few in.

Really high dome peanut obsidian. Very challenging. I bought a real nice slab. This was broken off. It's pretty big.

Royal aztec. This is a very thin piece with a natural top (which still needs to be cleaned) and a sealed fracture. Waste not, want not. I enjoy cabbing very thin pieces.

Teepee agate This was another very thin piece.

Bone- It has some paste still on it. The picture is dark.

Not exactly sure what this is. It's big, though. Maybe stone canyon or something I got from Paul @hookedonrocks.

Colla wood. So much nicer in person. The black is hematite or something metallic.

So glad the better weather is here. 88 right now- 90 or better tomorrow. Then it cools off again. Need to do some work with the trim saw. I have so many slabs calling my name.

The Royal Aztec is far and away my favorite. Just love a natural top like that.

Nice stones, Tela! The Peanut Obsidian and the Teepee are my favorites out this group. I can't decide which one is my favorite.

"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."

That Teepee is of course pretty close to my heart...but that Stony Creek is top-notch!
