Did this one last weekend. It is an Ellensburg blue agate I found. The wrap is done with GF wire. This is the largest EB cab I've made - 2-inches tall. Domed on both sides - slippery little devil. Needed 2 more hands!  Thanks for looking and for any comments. |

Wow, that is gorgeous. Love that blue. I hate slippery cabs but sometimes ya just got to wrap them. I use lots of painters tape on some of them, sure helps to hold them in place.

How could you tell it was an Ellensburg??? Other than the hardness, I have a really hard time telling the difference between Ellensburg and other blues (from pix of course, I don't think I have any ellensburg)

Man that is a awesome wrap job, and what a nice blue. I found a awesome e-burg blue up reecer creek a couple of years ago in a plowed feild. I danced a jig !! 3''x1.5''x3/4'' (p.s. it is the stone in the background in some of my posts)

Other than the hardness, I have a really hard time telling the difference between Ellensburg and other blues (from pix of course, I don't think I have any ellensburg) Good question, Helen! I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. The clincher for me knowing it was actually an Ellensburg Blue was where I found it. It was found within a half mile of the well-known EB claims, near Ellensburg, so I figured it was a pretty good bet that it was EB. Hub, I know what you mean about dancing a jig when you find a piece - that piece you found was really BIG for an EB! Thanks Jo, rockrookie, Pat, Stu, Randy, Toad, Diane, Dee, Helen and Hub! |
