Long Time, No See

[Son Of Beach]

I nice piece I found about a month ago

Got a chance to use a slab saw, trim saw, and cabbing machine for the first time today.  Not my best work, but learned a lot in a short amount of time.

After a few minutes of working the dome a nice chip showed up, but I didn't have time to do it all over...just went with it.

I guess these are technically my first "cabs" that I didn't put in a vibe tumbler.

Really like the colors in that one.  Too bad the chip happened!

I was a little irked, but there was almost nothing I could do in short time.  Plus I was having a pretty good time figuring it all out

I might have Bahias on mind, but Ohio Flint has my heart.  Love working with this material.

Some pieces tend to be a bit chippy and fracture...well it's hard to dislike the range of colors.

A handful of leftovers from Michigan.  Big boy here has been at it a while.

I think these are both Charlevoix stones

I don't know what this is, oregon gifted it to me after winning the Bahia contest.  One of my favorite rocks I own now, thank you sir

Banded Hematite, Montana, and slice of a rock I found locally.

A couple of prarie agates care of jasoninsd.  Not as great as my previous attempt, but these are incredible to look at.

Small pieces of Idaho Seam Agate from Tony.  When it hits, it's outstanding.

Thanks for checking 'em out

The two look like Charlevoix stone.
