Packing the heat SpinerC.. Very nice entry!! 

Thank you "accented1".... The material just arrived today, new find for a friend and greatly enjoyed the challenge of testing it out.  It was either this or some Amethyst Sage for the entry... or a coin toss on some Mookaite lol!

I'm glad you picked this brecciated material because it is

I feel more like "it picked me" today lol! I pulled probably 3 boxes and went through slabs... nothing really jumped out, then the dogs alerted me to the mailman, thought the box was something else I ordered so it was a pleasant surprise lol!

Its a fun and challenging material, I like the natural inclusions (as I call them) in the stone, add character.  Well I am off to grind something else tonight, I have a group on FB and my turn at auction is coming up in Dec... need stock! LOL!

SpinerC, that is crazy. Very nice job! I like the way it's all broke up! sweet

[SpinerC]

Thank you Sandsave. Being that it was a test on the material, I tried to pick the most difficult yet, colorful area on the slab to make sure it would stand up to the wheels.  I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased.

Sweet!  Put a Marquise shaped carnelian cab in the center and you have a really funky eye!

Not many entries yet, but the quality of those 3????    Out of this world!!! 

I'm still hoping to get some of that Mescalero Jasper, but gotta wait till a thicker slab comes up, as I rather pay a little more than go murdering any rough.

I have really been loving this Dendritic Chrysocolla recently and that will be my entry...hope you all enjoy 

The first pic is a dry slab of the rough from Arizona. The other pics are of the polished cab from different angles - I have lighting problems.
Approx. 30mm x 35mm

Got some unexpected (looking ate rough) nice strong colours in there Jeremy. 
Looking good.

Good to see this contest heating up!

Oh my, oh my, OH MY!!!   I see the first one, and I think "that's it"!!   And then the second, " that's it"!!   And then the third, then the fourth!!!   Oh my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here we go with my entry in this month's contest.  I almost forgot to take a picture of the preform so the picture I did take is not a very good one since it was inside with my iphone.  The picture of the finished cab is not that great either because there has not been much sun for the past 3 or 4 days.  I will get a better picture when the sun shines again, hopefully tomorrow.  This is an ocean jasper with some green druzy.

This is really spectacular work going on here this contest

[GoodEarth]

I agree with Bent. The workmanship is always top notch in these contests. Good looking entries everyone!
