I goofed up. That was the picture I took inside the shop under fluorscent light.  I took one outside but posted the wrong picture. I am on my way to go collecting.  I will see about posting a better picture when I get back. Have to do on the PC. Sorry  :Bash:

I got it figured out. I am going to take pictures of green jade!!
I spent a hour last night messing with my iPhone and surfing the web and it was the filters. Some how it got switched to the chrome filter and I wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own.  :dontknow:

I like it, I still have it, Next time I have an excuse to go to Reno I will have to deliver it to AL, but I can enjoy it for a little longer. I may have enough stone to do another one, but maybe smaller
Thanks for all the kind words, I have really been enjoying the forum and all the members and getting to see all different and beautiful work that is done and the willingness of the members to share their knowledge with others!
I am a rockaholic and some day my family is going to do an intervention
