Howdy folks, Just a quick shot of a belt buckle I made as part of a belt buckle/bola set I'm working on for a buddy who let me hunt rocks in his flower garden. The stone is a Rio Grande Moss agate of a very odd sort. I'd almost call it jasper because the red and purple moss is on a background of opaque white agate. Took a mirror polish which unfortunately caused a lot of glare in my lousy pic. He wanted matching stones from one of the rocks I found in his yard so this the first of the set.....Mel  |

Gary and Nate: That's just a factory made buckle form Eloxite. I can't take credit for anything except cutting the stone and screwing on the bezel.....Mel
