Birdseye Rhyolite

This one is a little different than the other Birdseye’s have have in my collection, more white in this one. Took a closeup of the pattern. 4”

I really like that one.  The white makes the eyes really pop.

Really wonderful pattern. The kind of pattern you can study a while. And, okay, looks sort of like cells dividing. Great quality bird's-eye rhyolite

Stunning sphere and like so many that you make, super rare.  I bought a 2.1/2 inch egg in this material and it's quite lumpy so I wondered if you found it hard to make a perfect sphere.  Also, since i am pretty new to this site, do you ever sell your work?  Would love to get me some...

I'm lazy and will comment on spheres all at once. Great, wonderful work there. And how do you do it all? Think you're right about the mushroom rhyolite, unless I'm getting it confused with something else. Also, if you're going to sell, would you sell cut-offs from the stones the spheres are made of? Well, have fun, I'm finishing up a cab I finally decided how to shape.
