Hello, everyone! Here are the three pendants I made today. I find the Imperial jasper even more pictural than the pictural one (both slabs come from Stonethatrock). Fronts (2 pics): Sides (well, almost): Backs. The Imperial jasper has two fronts, I domed both sides because I liked very much the scenes on both sides. But this way the edge became very thin (3 mm - a new grooving record of mine ) and unfortunately it broke a small piece of the edge (right side) . So the record doesn't count, I think ;D Thank you for looking, Adrian

I'm in awe! those are awesome, the picture one looks like the "high road to the middle of nowhere" awesome.
I got some imperial jasper too from stone age and they were out when I won - they found a few pieces - I've never seen it in pinks before, I thought imperial jasper was green
The montana looks like the "tree of life" I really like montana agates - they always hold a surprise!
Great shine - I'm very blinded right now

Thank you everyone! Yes Tweet, I also see a road there and a lake or a sea in the right side. There's also a moon,but only half of it, on the right edge of the cab. Adrian

All three are stunning. That Imperial Jasper is beautiful and you did an incredable job the way you cabbed and groove wrapped it. My guess is that you got optimum scenery cabbing it that way. Just beautiful.

Hey Adrian! Every Time Buddy! You just keep hitting that sweet spot whenever you groove a wrap for us, it's incredible. This little group are utterly gorgeous, the patterning in that Montana is fabulous, I do like the spots hanging in matrix, it's a very attractive stone, and the Imperial Jasper is lovely too, the colours and patterning in there are most attractive indeed, but I'll have to echo everyones comment - that Picture Jasper is just phenominal, I really love the scene, the wrap, the shine and everything you have in that one, it's a work of art. Well Done, Congratulations and Thanks for sharing it with us, inspirational as usual, and utterly desirable too, (no Susie - you can't see what I'm looking at, 'cause I can't cut stones that pretty! he he he!) Thanks Adrian, Cheers, Sparkles.

Thank you again! Morticia, all the diamonds sparkle about the same, but that scene is unique, so I like it more than a diamond ;D Harry, a person who can cut those perfectly round high domed cabs of yours with a precision of an industrial machine surely can cut anything! Just try and be confident Adrian
