Very pretty, Mike! The fish (butterfly fish?) that's in the center of the cab is awesome.  |

I like it! I love the stone- that surprise center is really cool. The wrap is very nice! I like the one swoop on the side.  |

I like it my friend! I don't know the proper names for any of the "parts", but I like the offset you did on the "front wires"! I do believe this is your Tabu Tabu Jasper...aka...African Painted Valley Jasper. (I also call it "that one red rock"! LOL) |

I saw a fish, too, Mike. I agree with Jason regarding your placement and shaping of the "keeper" or "prong" wires. (What are those things called, anyway???) They work so well with the cabs patterns, suggesting that the "fish" is moving. Really nice work.

The wires are called pulls. At least that's what I've always called them and seen them called. rockjunquie do you call them pulls, too? |

Wow!! And such a close resemblance, too! Amazing. Outstanding find, Robin!
miket — Mike, I hope that the salesman in you jumps on this. You should be able to get a premium for this pendant with an explicit tie-in to the Butterfly Fish image! Picture stones sell! And you've got a phenomenal piece here. |

They work so well with the cabs patterns, suggesting that the "fish" is moving. Really nice work. Thanks Gary! And I may try to market it that way... It doesn't look like any Tabu Tabu that I've had. I think it came from Tommy .... Definitely Tabu Tabu. Nice job Mike! Thank you Tommy!

The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the toilet.

Very pretty, Mike! The fish (butterfly fish?) that's in the center of the cab is awesome. Personally, I think that it looks more like the head in profile of a quail.
