I don't make it over to the wrapping side of the site very often but I need to get a few ready for an upcoming show. Here's my attempt. I need to tarnish it but want to get a couple more to batch up.  |

Very nice! I'm always happy to see a nice tight wrap. Very neat looking and pretty. |

Hey, I already saw that one! (I was poking around in your photos when you posted a link in another thread) It looks great!

These rock quarries in the southeast are not easy for the feeble or those not physically fit...especially in the summertime. North Carolina is about the mineral capital in the southeast. Franklin, NC being a big gathering spot of vendors, close to a lot of sources of minerals and mineral museums, mineral clubs and such... For what it's worth, Thomas I made my way to Franklin about 15 years ago and went sapphire mining. That's one of the main events that got me in to rocks and lapidary. Would love to go back. |

Wow. Very nice. I like how the copper brings out the orangey-brown in the stone… Mushroom Jasper(?) and compliments the green as well.👍
These posts make me miss my wrapping practice, need to try and find time for it.

This one is leopard skin rhyolite. I also ran out of time before the show and didn't wrap any others 😓. |

That is very nice!
