Covid Spheres
« on: May 03, 2020, 05:59:44 PM »

I’ve had a little more time on my hands than usual as most of us have had. I organized my cubes and inventoried them. I found some cubes I forgot I had, some I received others I traded for others self collected. I have made a total of 43 spheres since March 16th.
1. Opal Springs Jasper 3”
2. Pet Wood 2 1/2”
3. Blue Calcite 4”
4. Blue Aventurine 3”
5. Dontknoite 3 3/4”
6. Saddle Mountain Pet Wood

Lots of fantastic spheres, there, but I am particularly partial to the blue Dontknoite and the conglomerate.

WOW someone has been busy!  The one you have as #5 Blue Aventurine sure looks dark enough and a dead ringer for Durmortierite.  Great spheres.  Need to keep you home more often.

43 is a number to contend with!  All are great to look over.  Tops on my list are the exotica, (2nd photo), which reminds me of tiffany stone of a different color, your dontknowitites, and that bloodstone really speaks to me as well.

You have been busy, sir!  Keep 'em coming.  I just finished a nice dino bone I will post in a bit.

I haven’t had to stay at home, just a lot of my normal activities have been put on hold, so I had more shop time. #5 I agree I checked it out, it was gave to me labeled Blue Aventurine.
When I straighten the cubes out I pulled some out I forgot about, so the process went a little quicker as I wasn’t starting from scratch, plus I had a few for some venders I had to get done.
