These are all done in 14k gold filled wire except for 1. I did most of these last week, maybe 4 of them this week because I ran out of wire (shame shame)..... 140 feet on the way ;D Anyhow, here they are! ....... Goldstone.......  Green goldstone.....  Green goldstone #2......  Green goldstone #3.....  Lapis.....  Pietersite, gift slab from Fran!  ....  Bruneau ,another awesome gift slab from Fran  Turritella agate in silver......  Cool little unknown.......  Dino bone from Jo (naturenut), the coolest dino bone that I've ever seen. She gave me some for slabbing it, probably enough to do 15 or 20 cabs!! .....  Unknown brown mossy agate.......  Regurgitated bronze coral (manmade, crapped out of a machine) but I really do like working with this stuff........  Regurgitated bronze purple turquoise (most likely crapped out of the same machine after a different meal).......  I can't remember what type of agate this is, but it's very hard and takes an awesome shine!! (out of a flat rate gift box from Jamie) .....  Sodalite from Ebay (15 pound boulder) .....  Variegated tigereye from Colorwright.........  How did I do? ;D |

Marie- it came from an Ebay seller (can't remember who) but it will come up if you do a search for "bronze turquoise". For $15, you get a slab big enough to do 2 cabs.
Toad- that's what I thought it was but Jamie called it something else.

Wow Randy, do you ever rest!! Those are beautiful and like many others I really like the "Crapped from a Machine" stone. Those are beautiful as are all the others.

I could sit and admire/drool all day over those!!!!
Seeing these close up gives me a better idea on parts of your tutorial. Especially where to place the sides wraps.

Great wraps as usual Randy. I think I like that sodalite best. But then I like sodalite. I think I am going to get me some of that goldstone. There is a guy who always sells some at a show that is here next weekend.

Wow, those are beautiful. I can just picture a Christmas wrap out of thoise gold and green-- stones, LOL. Too hard to pick a favorite, not even gonna try.
Marie, it is my belief that Randy sleepwalks out to his garage and works like a gang of elves and then slips back into bed about 4 AM for an hour of sleep before he has to get up and go to work, LOL. Jo

That just about sums it up. Actually, Cathy studies...a lot. This gives me time to cab and wrap since she's to pre-occupied to fk with me. ;D
Maryann- I appreciate the offer, but I still have a crap-load of stuff from you, I'll be cabbing all summer!! I could use some new Nova wheels ;D lol
