I prefer the triangular shapes rather than the teardrop... (1.5-2mm). I just bought a carton of smokes and a new set of strings so I'm ready for another week of convalesence.

Most seem to prefer that style Geno.
 Hehehe Fanatic, thanks. I put alot of work into them. Here is another set of petrified wood ones. A way different look from the red ones arent they? The shape looks off on the side ones, but they arent. Its just the angle I took the shot. I need to try to be right over them when I take pics I guess.

Lets try this picture.
 This picture is a bit dark, but you can still see the colors. They look like cloud patterns.

Heres a pic of mom shaping a guitar pick. See how close her fingers are to the diamond wheel?
Thats why she's got short nails on those fingers!  She told me this particular pick is 1.8 millimeters thick.

Denise, I got the pick yesterday and have been playing with it... I like it, but it takes some getting used to as it is quite a bit stiffer than the picks I have been using. It is a thing of beauty though, no doubt about that!
Thank You! geno |

 Glad to hear you like it Geno. How does it sound? I hear it changes the tone for the better. Im still working on listing them in the Market. I will be listing them all individually so you will be able to choose the guitar pick your looking at.

I haven't noticed a difference in tone, except perhaps for a slight "scratchy" sound when I have the guitar amplified. I play a Fender Stratacoustic.

I would love to hear you play Geno! Maybe you can bring it to the RMMR 2007'.
I listed the guitar picks in the market yesterday. Here is the link to them. Stone Guitar Picks This is the moss agate pick I was working on in the picture posted above.

Nice work babe!
Thought I would post about a non-slip pro-grip some folks use to hold onto highly polished picks while playing. Since these are polished to a glass like surface......... I used to use this stuff as a league bowler years and years ago and as it turns out, we found an instrument site that sells it for pick gription. Stuff works great!You can purchase some at Elderly Instruments if needed. Sweet picks made by my sweetheart!  CP
