Happy Bunny Day to All

I don't get as much finished when Alan is home. the things he comes up with for me to do.......
I have managed to keep the saws running tho. The Blood Stone I got looks like it will make beautiful spheres. No fractures that I see yet. It has a little blue and yellow in it too. The first cube is finished.
I decided to start on the Silver Eye Serpentine. This is super messy stuff! Two saws that were close to needing cleaning will certainly need it after cutting this material. One cube is having the corners cut now.
The Squirrel Tail Stromatolite is almost finished with the corners. This material from New Mexico is crazy with it's patterns. I hope I can find the other piece of this. It is some where in what Ryan calls the Abyss.
The slabs are almost vacuumed. I have managed to have rough grinds going on 3 of the sphere machines. There is a Desert Storm Dolomite, a Namibia Shattuckite and a Moroccan Wave Jasper grinding. I can not run the high speed machine with paying so little attention to it.
I am taking a break from the African Tiger Eye that I started long ago. I just can't get rid of the scratches around the hematite bands. I will probably need to go to grit. :-( Messy!
There is a Mexican Crazy Lace and an Argentinian Fluorite currently round and waiting to go.
Just not enough time in the day!
Thanks for reading.....
