You saved the best for last, that last one is DA BOSS among your al three threads, in my opinion. I think it also deserves a better treatment (silver framing and keep it).

I like the mahogany obsidian in this batch, another pretty set of stones, you should be able to sell them no problem. Amber

Another beautiful set. What is the stone in the little pic. That one looks really cool.

I really like that last one. What type of rock is that?

That last one is actually an end piece from montana agates. It has a very "Carolina blue" thing going on for it. My wife wears it to many compliments.
And thanks, adrian, but I am actually of the taste that most of the wrap style settings are over the top and too frilly for me and the wife, I like the aanrakus because the highlight is the stone itself.
Not to say there are not some GREAT wire wraps going on here, just not my flavor.
I will keep you all informed as to how my sales go.
Thanks to all!

I'm not sure on the first one, ID help would be great! It is a jasper I think, but I forget where I scored it. Also the pink/grey one above the pietersites- I'm not sure on that one either, I have a couple more pendants cut from that stone, but not sure what it is. I also have some wasco that i traded for on here, on the conditions that i send a cab of it back, but am not entirely pleased with the results enough to reciprocate yet. The stuff is soft, but is shines up nice. I am gonna go take some pics of the picasso pulls and hopefully post them quick in the tumbling section. Thanks y'all!

Great cabs! A lot of softer rocks take a good polish with a soft cotton polishing wheel polishing wheel and Zam. After using diamond, tin oxide, Fabuluster, cerium oxide etc. there are certain rocks like my Keep Cool Rhyolite and lapis that just come out a lot better for me on the buffing wheel..............Bob

Yep, all good but my vote is for that last one. There is a lot of depth to that pattern. Fran
