Happy Thanksgiving to all.  May you have a wonderful day.

Looking forward to my next several days off, not until Monday, but I can't wait.  Have a piece of Chinese Petersite in the large saw being cubed.  This material looks very promising.  Next will be some stunning baby blue Hemmimorphite, also from China.  Love blue if you hadn't noticed.  Alan describes the blue as that of an iceberg. Hmmmm.

On our recent travels we also picked up Lizardite or Enchanted Desert Jasper.  I had not seen this material before our stop at Quartzite on our way home from the Apache Junction Show.  Only one loan dealer set up at Desert Gardens rock show, we just had to stop anyway.  They had a huge supply of Youngite from Utah but all were too small for spheres.

Taking off points on the other Porcelain material from the Bishop, Ca area.  This is different in that it has orbs.  The blue is more steel grayish in color.  I am excited to see how this will polish.  Unfortunately the pieces I have would only make 3 inch spheres and I will only end up with 1.

Again Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for reading.
