 You will have to post an update on whatever you do with them Probably will not do much with them. Most of the chalcedonies I have been collecting I have just been throwing in the tumbler with no grit for a few days to knock the softer minerals off of them and to soften the edges. As far as cabbing I have been really focused on the copper ores and Tiffany stone.
I may cab up some of the orange chalcedony though just to see how it turns out.

Love the rocks. But, the cat is awesome. I had a manx long ago, but it was no where near that color.

My husband's Grandma raised them. Of course there were those who were born with tails that her husband removed the tails from. He hated cat tails. Those were called Chop Chop 1, 2, 3, etc. They learned to respond to being called 2, 3, etc. Too funny. |

James, I know that Jax has her own webpage, but you have been remiss in posting photos of her here lately. No wonder fernwood thought she was a manx cat, lol. I know I have missed seeing her. Jax, that is.
(Time to get those eyes checked, Beth!)
Shameless plug, James - What is the URL of her webpage again? She is the best, and I know she means so much to you.

Just posted a new Where's Jax game this morning. Big hit on the heeler boards. People try to find her in the photos. One guy uses her pics for his sniper school and said all of his students would be dead.  |

Thanks, James. I love that she has her own Facebook page. I'm not on Facebook, so you'll just have to post more pics of her on RTH!
