Been browsing this forum for about a year now, the hypersthene thread in the cabochon section was what prompted me to finally join.
I'm Rime, also known as Shifter55 on GemologyOnline and Lapidaryforum.net, mostly I do cabochon cutting on a Sri Lankan faceting machine but it's almost ready to do faceting on. I'm based in Australia, so work on that has been a bit slow right now.
Chatoyant materials and agate are the main rocks I cab, and I'm usually on the lookout for unusual stuff in those categories. I'm also working on some wooden domes for better sanding capability, based off the Nova Wheel refurbishing instructions on here.
If there's any questions you'ld like to ask, just give me a reply!

Welcome to the group. My wife and I spent 2007 & 2008 in Australia and we both collect Australian lapidary and geologic material. You have access to some great material to work with. Can't wait to see what you are working on.
