WOW... I love those colors! Especially the red and yellow.
Hey, what is the green rock in pictures 4, 5 and 6? I think I just polished a similar rock.

Always love the shine and the rocks and the glitter and the glamour!
But I keep on forgetting about the coin:
I've got a family collection that goes way back. Is your 1859 self-collected, inherited, or purchased or gifted?
Just curious cause I love the piece.

Great pieces Snuffy, I have fired up my rotary so I hope to have good results in a few weeks.If I can get them like yours I will be very happy. I am still not sure whats in the barrels yet as I was rushing just to get them started after about 3 years.
