2 Off.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 6th Nov 2015

I am expecting to get some spheres done over my 2 days off.  Any way that is the plan.  The Porcelain Rainbow Stone Sphere has only an eraser sized flat spot left to grind.  There is another cube of this currently having the corners taken off.   You may remember this is a "share rock" picked up at Joshua Tree.  The miner gets half the spheres.  Would sure like to know where north of Bishop this material comes from.  Very pleasant Blues and yellows in it.  

The Thulite Sphere from the Ludlow area is ready to start working up to the higher diamonds.  This particular sphere looks to have darker greens and much more pink Thulite.  I am pleased with it's progress so far.

One of the Dragon Skin Rhyolite cubes now has had the corners taken off.  This is very different that the previous material I cut.  It appears more agatized and has a sinister appearance.  Maybe because we just had Halloween that I see eyes floating in a murky pond.  Hmmmm, the imagination is running away with me.

The large saw is cubing more of the Porcelain Rainbow.  I haven't decided what I will cut next in there.

The smallest saw has been designated as  a slabbing saw.  This may have to change for the next 2 days.
