Gold Inlays, lets see them! Options

[CP]

As you all know....we like to prospect, cut, polish just about any rocks, gems, minerals....
So it just seemed natural we should combine some of those finds into combination lapidary pieces.
Colorado has some purty' gold and nice dark colored agates.

We have gotten all the supplies together, dug some of that dark Colorado agate out of the buckets, picked out a few choice gold flakes from Vic's, also here in Colorado....... And viola......Let us know what you think.


Oh and the square one is already designated for Geno......but if ya' are intersted in the others, give us a hollar.

I forgot to add this one to this thread.

Here is a double terminated smokey quartz crystal. I polished it up and inlayed some of Dans Colorado gold fines into it for him.
Gold was inlayed from the backside, giving it a cool effect from the frontside. Was my first gold inlay with fines so I wasnt sure how much to use.
Next time.............MORE GOLD! Can never have too much gold.

Thanks for looking.
