I got some cutting done tonight. There's no telling when I'll have time to finish these but it's a start.
Group shot.

These are for a set of earrings and a necklace for my wife's good friend.

And the rest.

Thanks for looking. I'll be sure to update when I find time for the grinder.

(That's a lot of ones! LOL) I do like the shapes and the orientation you chose on those...

I didn't remember the brecciated one, but that yellow one stood out in my cobweb filled brain bucket! I'll be watching to see how the yellow ones turn out. I think those will be really cool!

Thanks man. That bigger striped one was originally supposed to be a teardrop but it broke when I was cutting it.

Beautiful job on those! Kudos!

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."

Thanks! I want to say it Montana moss agate but I'm not sure. It's a waterline agate. I posted the slabs on here. I will find them and repost.
