Hmmm...  Interesting thought, I have some pet wood too, have to look for it...

[MrsWTownsend]

A bump up.  I don't know if I'll be able to get an entry in or not, I have a lot going on on the weekends lately.  Sandsave might win his own slab...

Got some great material then got lucky figuring out how to polish it. So here it is, my first entry into a cab contest mainly because I never take before pics until it is too late to be before cause then it is after. Or something like that.

Original rock is the one on the left.


Slab is the one on the lower right.


Getting close.


Finally final. Some say a fish swimming left and others say a bird flying to the right. I am always wrong so you will have to decide for yourself.

bump Come on people lets get this thing going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phishisgroovin]

Got something in my eye, couldn't see anything but a honey do list.......

[iceopals]

I just saw this!   April May??   I thought it was May June!!!   Ok, I'll get going.     Sorry.

[Sandsave]

Nice work wampidy! I had the slabs packaged and addressed to my self. 

[Phishisgroovin]

Blewett pass Washington serpentine.

Love this stuff now!
I know how to polish it finally!
The Pyrite inclusions within this rock are killer once polished!
I didnt even know it was in it after grinding, shaping and polishing it with cerrum oxide, it only showed its beauty after hitting it with ZAM.

Beautiful material Phishisgroovin i love green material. Nice Polish on the stone. Good entry want to trade for petwood. Doug

[Phishisgroovin]

i dont have much of it, i was over there this weekend and couldnt stop sorry.
I have a few tiny pieces.

[MrsWTownsend]

The Malachite is beautiful- one of those materials that I will always love.  :)

Phish, that material you found is really cool- it sort of reminds me of plasma agate...  I wonder if there is such a thing as plasma jasper.  You could have the first ever plasma jasper!!!  Or is it soft like nephrite?

PLASMA NEPHRITE!!!  :D

[Phishisgroovin]

No, it's soft like Opal

[Phishisgroovin]

I also got some blue green super soft stone with silver specks in it.

[iceopals]

FINALLY!!!!!    Almost late, but if you only knew how busy I had been!   So, here they are, from Phish's auction so very long ago.   Remember that sunset stone?   Really interesting.   When I started cutting it you could hardly see the sunset it was such a pale orange.   I wasn't even absolutely sure at first which side of the stone it was on.   Well!   
So, the first shot is of the stone while Phisisgroovin still had it, I drew lines on it to show intended cuts.   The next picture is of the three center stones, and remember to check out how much that sunset came out!!!

[MrsWTownsend]

Oh WOW that came out REALLY cool!  Looks a lot different all polished up, I like that!
