What the Antique Box of Stones Held....

Priday

Plume

Agate

Unlike Any I have

Ever Seen.
Ever.
Ever.
Ev.Er.

I may - MAY set one for something in the shop
MAY.

Be on the lookout at some point maybe!

A perfect spray of Sagenite

Clay Canyon Variscite, wickedly hard to find

basically, this stash of rocks was not from around this time period.
This smacked of the fifties or early sixties
from the cardboard sheet of paper
these rocks were
Elmer's Glue-d to
to the stone selection
.
I am wiping my brow that I beat some old
rockhound in there!!

really stunning sagenite

Incredible White Plume Agate

And now a bit of what's been on MY wheels, lapidarily speaking -
Laguna Agate, and how!!!
A cherry whopper of a stone with red-hot dots in the white banding.

Unnamed source, but a slice out of a thunderegg
I am guessing this is moss, compacted and wondrous of color!

Botryoidal pink rhodonite

I am feeling physically strong on the wheels of late, and excited to be cabbing again.
A few of the Pridays need some tlc, and I hope to be able to appropriately guide them into their perfect form.

Wish me luck!!

xoxoxo,
Allison

I promise to ooh and aah, swoon and wipe my brow if you'll only let me hold them in say, 30 hours.

Don't you wonder sometimes if all of the good stuff has already been found and cabbed? Especially when you come across yummy pieces glued to a bit of cardboard? I fret that I'll never find a 'prize' again when I see beauties such as these!
