Here's a bunch I've done over the last few days... Amethyst sage with so many white clouds that the purple is lilac- lots of dendrites First attempt at a set, a capsule of (washed out) ballarat and rhodonite. They look good together in person. Mexican crazy lace Mexican crazy lace Nipomo Marcasite Blue opal in feldspar MT pet wood Rocky Butte with a line of malachite thulite and zoisite- much nicer in person Mexican crazy lace Till next time.... thanks for looking.

Nice cabs! But how can the hand holding the Nipomo marcasite (my favorite) be so clean after cutting it? You displayed those plumes perfectly and I know from my own experience it can be difficult material. Good cuts all around.

It took some time to complete because I had some pits to fill. My hands got cleaned a few days ago. But, yeah, it was hella messy. About as messy as silver in cobaltite.

They are all great but OMG the Nipomo looks fantastic! Beautiful work and nice job photographing it too haha. I can't take a good picture of that stuff.

dreamy sage ballarat and rhondo will be my next heart combo Howdy Ed, That ballarat is pretty soft compared to the rhodonite. Something to keep in mind. If you have trouble finding any, let me know.

Hello Tela seeing yellow & pink together turned on the light wheel if you have a chunk of ballarat that I could cut a good thick slab from (I'm in good shape with rhondo) and your not crazily busy we could work something out mostly™
