Finished pieces for the week ending 10-25-14
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 25th Oct 2014
Busy week. I was finally able to finish my Shattuckite Sphere after 90 hours of grinding to get it round. The colors are eye popping. Once again, why did I only by 1 piece?
Another long grinding piece finished this week is a green Moss Agate Sphere. It took so long to get this 1 round I lost track of time. I really like the white splash of material that is center in the sphere.
I picked up some old stock Parrot Wing Jasper in Tucson in January that now is all cut. I finished the third sphere of that material also this week. Attractive greens, whites and browns show nicely.
In the pipeline are a few Mookaite Jasper spheres, a small Indian Paint Rock sphere and way in the back is some Black Jade with Magnesite that is currently in the saw.
Until next time…….
