Aventurine: Start with the rough(face cut)- Teardrop shape penciled in- Had to use marker because the pencil was hard to see during the trim phase and didn't want to lose the shape- Shaped up after the 80 wheel- Sitting on the machine waiting on me to come back after a break- And finished- Made these for myself. Only the 3rd time I've made this shape-

Labradorite 22mm(7/8") teardrops. Took this pic before the polishing stage. The one on left slung off the 3k wheel and hit the back of the metal pan and broke. Not fixable. This is the right plug that didn't break polished and the back

Here are some 3/4" moonstone plugs The glow of gold is just amazing. This "glow" is not a reflection from camera flash (wasnt one) nor reflection of ceiling lights. Video http://instagram.com/p/6jAtKHCYZm

Scriptstone plugs The solid non-patterned parts of the slab/rock (not shown) are really soft and bleed. When angled you can see the hematite swirly patterns on top of these water snail shells (layered). It's pretty neat. spiritstone

Love the labs but that agate sure looks good, too. I get a feeling the lab was hard to do.
