Not my favorite color by a long shot, but you got a great shine on those. Nice shapes.

I like those cabs a lot... the variquoise is also neat. I agree with Toad, though, that the color should largely be left in the '70s...

I like those! Don't see anything wrong with the color at all and the contrast is outstanding. Very different! I would have a lot of fun designing a wrap & necklace around those patterns & colors.

Viagara??? who said anything about that Nate?!?! ;D ;)lol! I decided to change my won thread title...maybe it was promoting a porn site or something. I noticed Nate was the 1st one to post tho.... ;D ..Just Kidding!!!! Variscite is not one of my favorite stones..but when there is actually a textured look I really like it. The plain solid mint green color I don't care much for. The Variquoise is becoming harder to get especially out of Snowville. The site is on private property and no material is coming out. This came from a collection spanning back into the 50's. Thanks Everyone.. Steve
