Those look pretty good in the overall "class photo", but in the close-ups they are absolutely wonderful.... guess that shows how important it is to get a good photo to show off your efforts. Excellent job. What are those pale purple ones on the left side of the class photo?

Rocky, I think your "God" title is definitely appropriate. Those are great! I love that crazy lace. I have a 10 lb boulder of it lying in wait. I hope mine comes out that good.

Very nice Kim, another great job! I've never done any T-eye, those pics sure give me the urge. Killer crazy lace too! It's nice to see all the great pics on the site now. Again, super batch, Don

Very nice job on those.
The 'Crazy Lace' is "KILLER"!.
I'm glad to see you got that 'Tiger Eye' to polish with Titanium, I just took mine out of the Cerium, something just ain't right, and I don't know what it is unless I have contamination. And I think that, is my problem. But I'm not giving up by a long shot.
So thanks for showing your inspiring work.

yes that is blue quartz on the left along with some green adventurine, rose quartz, clear quartz, and a few pieces of strawberry quartz ?. and white quartz ?. here's the other side of the batch. i was so carried away with the crazy lace and tigers eye i didn't let y'all see the other side ;D  i think you can see some of everything in this one:  that crazy lace has got to be one of my favorites for right now along with that tigers eye. kim |

I have to agree with you Rocky; That agate is wonderful! It's great when you can get a batch like that to polish up as well as it did, without having to seperate all kinds of dis-similar stones out of it. (Is that a word?)  I'm still dinking around with my 'tiger eye'. I think I had some Jasper in the barrel and the Jasper came out great, not so with the 'Tiger Eye', so it has been sent to solitary in a 1.5 barrel with Tin Oxide, this go around. Is there a name for that 'Red' Tiger eye? I know the 'Yellow' is generally called 'Tiger eye'. The 'Blue' is generally called 'Hawk' or 'Falcon eye', but what about 'red'? |
