Guilty pleasures, Thank you Orrum
« on: December 11, 2017, 05:37:34 AM »

Season Greetings to all, while a lot of you are stuck in snow right now, I had a nice morning. Cold (for us), but nice.

Lets start with a BIG thank you to our generous Orrum, who send me some of his Oregon Moonstone to dabble with.
Had to try it out right away and cut one crystal apart,...

Don't know enough about the material, so have to experiment.
Just finished one and I'm surprised by the light-play in diverse light settings.

Again, thank you so much for your generosity Orrum.

Its the time of the year, where not much time remains to work stone as I dont have the time to actually sit down to use the machine that often.
As every year, that means, I go back to my FA's, and try to improve on what has been done before.
What follows are pics of things as they stand right now.

And a tricky one: mixed with clear and included chalcedony. Man, that thing is a lot of work trying to keep those bubbles.

And a new one not yet polished. Small but has popular colours.

Thanks for looking;

Remain herewith, with best regards, and one more look at this mornings pleasure,  Kurt

Beautiful sunrise, Kurt!  Thanks for sharing that.   :icon_sunny:

Those fire agates are amazing.  The moonstone is pretty cool, too!
