I did a little work with some Idaho seam agate today from Idaho rock shop. Two free forms and managed to get a ring made. Several flaws but that’s the fun of it all.
Thanks for looking 👀

Really nice. I wouldn't have thought they were the same stone.
The cab set in the really nice ring, looks like a pond with lily pads in it.
Cool !

I finished this piece this morning another piece of the Idaho seam agate. Three pieces that look so different lol. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t get the white line out of the center but it was there from the beginning pic 1 lol thanks for looking
