Title: Current cabs and WIPs
Post by: Glenn on November 17, 2015, 11:55:17 PM
Well I thought i'd share.. These are 2 pieces of local covellite, chalcopyrite, crysocholla fixed rocks that I am working on... i'll post some photos of my rhodonite heart cabs i'm going to be starting once I fix a few things.

We just got our electric back and the house did not flood or blow apart so it's rock time here also.

That's always good. Mt triangular piece is practically sold once finished to a local. I love this material and considering that covellite is considered rare I'm glad I can find it myself.
