My wraps this week. I like this one. A peach agate circle. Well, sort of a circle.  This one is a green and white Marble from my friends front yard. I like shopping in his front yard.  Another little blue onyx I think.  This one's different. I tried to be more abstract here. Not sure what kind of stone this is. Any ideas?  Thanks for lookin. Hey, it's warming up. I think it's rock hunting season. |

The green and white one looks a lot like tree agate. Those all look great  |

Very nice wraps! I think the blue one is Blue lace agate and I just love that stuff! They are very elegant looking!

I thought the blue lace was agate - never seen a blue lace onyx. Agree with Randy, the green and white looks like tree agate. Whatever they are - they are nice! Good work on the wraps - think I like the last one best - kind of funky.

The blue lace is definitely agate. I think that one and the green tree are my favorites. |

Great wraps. I really like the blue and peach against the silver. It's very appealing.

All are really great. And, I like the last one. Funky and eye appealing at the same time and I also like the bail.

The stones are nicely framed with creative use of prongs. Nice. Jo

Thanks everyone.
The blue looks like lace agate, but it was a bit soft for agate. Had to be careful not to grind it too much. I'll ask the guy I bought it from at the next club meeting.
The green one I got from a friend who said it was marble, It is very hard and very smooth and solid opaque white. I'll ask him also what it is but he is out of town for a few months.
I'm glad you guys like them. I've got a couple of burro creek agate cabs I am trying to make, but they keep falling off the dop sticks. Grrrr.

Very nice. You done good!
I like that last one, very different and creative. I'm with others on the Blue Lace Agate. Don't know about it being soft but didn't think onyx came in blue.
Looks like someone has been twisting wire ;D
