Bouquet Bowl?
« on: May 09, 2020, 02:23:03 PM »

I had a piece of Bouquet Agate I picked up on one of the trips that was hollow with some good bubbly Chalcedony inside.  The top was missing and it just seemed cool to me.  I have a lot of those types of thing and you wonder what will you ever do with it.  I decided to start grinding the outside of the bowl to remove the crust so you could see the beautiful plumes and colors.  I am using my fingers pinching to try and feel the thickness because I don't want to break thru the skin at any point.   I just grind a little and set it down and come back to it later.  I will have to finish it with the foredom at some point.  Here is where I am at so far.
