I got a box from Jamie. It had a whole bunch of different stuff in it. I was oohing and ahhhing every time I pulled something out. An awesome crystal cluster This free-form sculpture; done by Jamie (I think) it is the size of a baseball. In the box was some cutting rough. I did these cabs. The T-eggs are from AZ not OR. It is one of Jamie's finds and what a find it is. The outer material is hard and solid enough to cab. It worked up just like a jasper agate. Apache Gold. This is the first I had seen or worked this material. It was hard to photo; so I finally held it in my hand. It took a super shine and had very tiny sparkle flashes. pic showing shine; those are my fingers in the lower right Two more pics showing the imagery of the pyrite against the black. This one is gonna be a keeper I gonna make a necklace for myself. These are the AZ T eggs. Interesting pockets of agate and jasper, White to gray to clear; orange and pinks; greenish gray and lots of interesting patterns. Two halves of different eggs shown wet The other egg did not have any of the parallel white lines. It had waves ribbons of orange. I cut it up before taking pic. Here is a cab I did. Both side were nice so I made it double sided. This side shows a desert rose; IMHO This side showed a mini t egg pattern in the T egg the four side star and other cool stuff. Some others I cabbed up I liked the T eggs so much I order a FRB. And I am loving that Apache gold. Thanks for looking.

Nice stuff. Spiritstone. I see why you like that Apache Gold so much. Lots of Bling-Bling in that cab alone! I love those Thundereggs too...what some crazy stuff going on in them. Thanks for posting your cabs..they're GREAT! Steve

Wow, you did a killer job on those thunder eggs. I went out with Roxy yesterday and collected about 100 to 150 lbs of them so I will send your box out tomorrow.

A whole lot of great stuff there Larry. The sculpture is really nice. I can see why you like the apache gold, very pretty. The t eggs are awesome. I've never seen ones with that type of pattern. The cabs you did with them are fantastic.

Those cabs have HEY SAILOR all over em. Great looking material, really graphic patterns. The Apache Gold is some crazy looking stone and the water lines in those eggs is really cool. I just bet Jamie is gonna have her work cut out for herself just packin out boxes of those.

Beautiful stuff in that box, but the free form sculpture is the boss.
