Well that's what I named him because he came from Stoner's house. *smile* This is Stoner, he's a rainbow obsidian turtle (I think it was rainbow, Ed correct me if I'm wrong). He's been here for a little while, we were just waiting for a nice sunny day so hopefully you could see the colors. His back is full of little sparkles too, really cool!! He brought these with him ... oboy!! Fun *smile* The black one is obsidian too. See that gorgeous malachite, that's mine!! All for me!! YaY!!!! *smile* Thank you so much Ed, your the best!!

Cha-Ching! Ed is one generous Man! What a great assortment of cabs you recieved Cher. I don't blame you for wanting to stake claim on the malachite cabs..they look amazing. What's the one 2nd row, 1st on the left with the green streak through it? That looks pretty wild. Oh yeah...I do love Stoner the Turtle. You do deserve the goodies Cher. Steve

I'm not sure what that is, maybe Ed will pop in and let us know, it could be just an unknown agate but it's really pretty.

What a cute turtle! He did a great job on that.
So, which one are you going to wrap first?

Awesome turtle. That rainbow obsidian is beautiful stuff. And those cabs are a serious drool fest. Those malachite and atate on the lower right are cool. I hope the came a towell. Steve

I guess he was a little slow getting his picture taken!!!! That piece in the second row is the green forest plume. Liz sent me some to play with a while back. So why isn't the malachite wrapped yet?

Had to wait for the sun to shine when it wasn't too cold to sit outside taking pictures. Yesterday was the first day we had that was above zero. The malachite is in planning, need more wire.

Cher & grayfingers - Yup...Ed got to post about the Green Forest Plume Agate. I found some old pic's to show ya... The red is called Forest Fire Plume Agate. They're both from Idaho. I think E-dog got some from the same guy a while back but the E-bay seller hasn't posted anything for a long time. Here's a cab Ed did out of the red one. I mounted it with a nice garnet for my daughter for her birthday.

Those are awesome!! Cher, the cabs are too cool, but I really dig the turtle. Did he make it? ...darlin ;D

No darlin', he didn't carve this little guy but I know with the things we've seen Ed do, he could if he wanted too.
