There’s something gratifying about seeing what I’ve finished photographed together. Every week I try to take a group shot including everything that was cut and polished that week. Then I photograph them individually or in little groups. I enjoy looking back on these photos to see what I’ve done. In this photo the howlite (white stone) looks very washed out. Howlite, Black Jasper, Picasso Marble, Dino Bone, Green Goldstone, Rose Quartz, Kaleidoscope Jasper, Graveyard Point Plume Agate, Crazy Lace Agate, Cave Creek Jasper. Good batch here!
A beautiful Batch
It’s not always Turquoise
I love cabbing turquoise. But I love lots of others kinds of rock as well. I’ve been cutting some really pretty material. Here’s a pic of some lovelies from a recent batch.
Crazy lace agate from Mexico. Labradorite from Labrador. Cave Creek Jasper from Arizona. White Buffalo from Nevada. And of course some turquoise. The coffins were popular- I’ll cut them year round. And I loved the suggestion for labradorite coffins. And the hearts. Love the hearts. And so do a bunch of metalsmiths. And for that I am grateful.
