Just a few pics of my newest stones to play with... I love Ebay... and just got a new digital camera tonight, so i thought I'd share these with everyone... still not sure exactly what I'm going to do with them, but the possiblities are endless...

This first one is of the entire collection of ametrine that I recieved... there are approximately 500grams of ametrine in this bundle... pieces range from 25mm x 15mm, up to the bigger ones which range in the 55mm x 40mm area... nice chunks of rock.

The second pic is of the 55mm x 40mm chunk of ametrine... wonderful color, and nice clarity.

This third image is another nice sized piece of ametrine from the bundle... I'm hoping these all can be cut and polished up nicely...

And this last image is of a few extra pieces I ordered... the top left is a slab of tigerseye, sodalite below it, meionite next to that, a 275ct amethyst chunk to the far right, a 75ct ruby matrix to the bottom-middle, and a fiery flashy piece of labradorite to the far bottom left.

Hope you all enjoyed these... and I am always up for ideas and thoughts on what to do with them... I'm ordering a 6" Diamond Combo Cab Workshop today, and hoping that will help me in my cabbing and cutting of all these wonderful gems... My goal is to create freeform pendants and other items.

Anyway, enjoy... And, I'll keep these images updated with my newest rocks and slabs as I get them.

Happy Rocks to everyone !!!

Wow! Those are lovely! I wish I could just pick them up through the pictures. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Hopefully my stones will be ready for pre-polish tomorrow and I can finally post a photo! I probably could have done it today but after so long, what's another day?

Send them to me!!! LOL!

Billy, those are beautiful! That labradorite is WOW! I don't think I have ever seen any of that before. I'm drooling all over the keyboard!

Have them faceted. Me personally I would wrap them. Tami

Great rock! Super pics too. That stuff is so pretty, I don't think there is anything you could do to it, where it wouldn't be beautiful. Sweet, Don
