Today is my last day off for awhile, so I thought I'd tell you what I have been working on.

I have just finished to larger Cherry Creek Jasper Spheres, a Rocky Butte sphere and the last of the Sumatra.  Wish I had been able to get larger pieces of that material.  Maybe next year I will see them at Quartzite again and they will have larger pieces.  

Working to round are 2 more smaller pieces of Cherry Creek and a green Moss Agate from India.  The Moss is beautiful but may be dark for spheres.  If I think so after this one is finished I think I'll just end up slabbing it.

In the saw is more Noble Serpentine from Washington State.  The patterns in this current piece are impressive.  I am contemplating lapping the end cuts for my personal collection.  Also is a material from New Mexico that I picked up at the miners co op in Tucson.  He called it Amphielobe Diabase.  It is a patterned green.  The miner called it "not quite jade".  Surely it will work up easier than that.  Fingers crossed for that one.

The question will be what to cut up next...... I have a couple of pieces of Dragon Stone, or I could go right to Zebra Stone.   Hummmm.  Its been along time since I have seen the Zebra Stone in any sizable pieces.  The 2 rocks I brought home are not sizable  but should give me one sphere each.  

I am still waiting on parts for a saw and need to find a welder for the third sphere machine.   I have taken the forming machine apart to try and figure out what is wrong with it.  I am hoping Alan will be able to put it back together once I do.  (He hates when I do that,  Figures if I can get it apart, I should be able to put it back together.)  LOL

As always, not enough time off from work to really accomplish what I would like to get done.  Sigh.
