Three beauties! Don't know which is my fav, but that rhodonite is pretty sweet. You did a kliller job on the tiger eye. Thanks Tela! I was thinking about you when I was working the Rhodonite...I remember reading somewhere you had an affinity for Rhodonite...and I have no clue why that stuck in my head! LOL Looking good, my friend! You beat me to the punch, my Tiger Eye and Sodalite cabs should be coming out tomorrow... Thanks Mike! I can't wait to see how they look coming out of the vibe! The Sodalite undercut (ever so slightly) in those white areas...so I'm curious if it will using the tumbler. Can't wait to see pics! |

They are all gorgeous! Excellent, & thanks for sharing!
I've got some Sodalite I'm tumbling now...just inspected after stage 1.
About half is ready to move on, and half needs some more time.
Super excited! It's amazing how many variations of the blue there is between the stones.

LOL - I will agree with the variations in the blue. I have some lighter and darker within the same piece. I have an idea I'll be getting some more Sodalite sooner rather than later! LOL I'm stoked to see your results on the tumble! I'll be watching for pics! |

grit 1 (60/90) and starting to dry Very excited!! Those are looking sweeeeeet!!! I have some with lighter blue colorization - but not as light as yours. Also, I had a "vein" of that gray running through the rock. Some cabs I included it, but if I could, I avoided it just to try and get a solid blue cab... |

Wow, I've never really like sodalite (tumbles, mostly) but I sure like your cab! That tiger's eye turned out real nice as well. Cut that direction you will get the cat eye effect if made into a pendant and the wearer jumps up and down!

I hadn't really paid attention to Sodalite until recently...but I'm glad I've found it now! LOL On that particular piece of Tiger Eye, the effect actually does go from side to side...so maybe a shimmy, but not a shake shake will show the effect! LOL |

LOL You're right I was looking at the Tiger's Eye wrong. A shimmy will have to do. |
