I'm betting on massive quartz--off white quartz with pinks and purples are real common here, and it is very similar.

Way to go all five of you! Orrum, what rock adventure do you want to tackle first when you are able?

It's very pretty--quite feminine.

Well done--some of those patterns are amazing.

The colors are beautiful. Do you know what the coating is made up of?

I think they are both great--very precise, and your own design. Nice job!

I think exactly what you think--it would be hard for me to give it up!

It is not the chip or fracture that damages the polish run. But--chips and fractures make it easier for grit to "hide" and avoid being washed out. Grit that is hiding immediately extricates itself in your polish stage and wanders around the barrel happily slicing up the polish. I tumble stuff with chips and fractures frequently, and occasionally there's a problem. Usually there's not.

That is some amazing stuff, I don't believe I've seen it before. What incredible patterns!

Gary, I've been looking at a collection of tumbled saw trimmings for quite awhile now wondering what to do with them. Great idea!

What a group you've created! Such a nice collection, only to be surpassed by what your secretaries create, I'm sure! You've really got the technique honed in on.

All of those are cute little guys! I'm kind of stuck on the plume the most, though

Now that's not just *any* turritella--what a great "focal" you did on the stone, and the wrap just sets it off more.

What a super shape. You certainly deserve to be proud of it, it's got everything going for it--beautiful stone, great shape, superb finishing!

Wow--great bevels. I like all of them. I hope we get to see some of them wrapped.

Good grief, Hub, is there anything that you can't turn into a piece of art? Amazing!

All three of those are very interesting in their patterns--the first one is almost surreal. Great job on them all!

Are you using a vibe or a rotary? Or both? I *think* that the threads use vibes--if using a rotary, I will be happy to share what I did before I got the vibe.

This is definitely amongst my favorites of what you have done. The simplicity is nothing short of elegant--and perfect. The cab is beautiful. I don't think it gets any better.
