Sweet and like the shape too. I never see the same thing twice from you Frank. The variety you come up with is amazing.

By the way, I cut a piece of the orb rock for you today. When you get it look at the rind on one end. It really looks like coral. The inside looks like the coral was replace with agate or something then the open spaces were filled with quartz crystals. I will get pics and post them tomorrow. About the most amazing stone I have come across. I am thinking that I put a slab in your box when you were here but I am not sure. I would love to see what you could come up with from that slab. I have one in the works but at the rate I am going it won't be finished till spring.

It's nice to have you back at the wheel Frank, instead of gallivanting all over the country LOL; Not really, I only wish I would do the same thing; one day...

NICE! I like the gentle curve, the transition from dark earth to blue/green sky, just an all around nice bead :notworthy:

I will look and try to identify which slab you are referring to Jim.
