Very cool CW! We would love to hear what your friend thinks of the pick sometime too.

Here is one that kinda "fell" into my personal collection.
Must be a slabbers fee!

Your so spoiled Dan. But you can slab them better than anyone I know.

For those who would also like to have one fall into their collection,
you can order yours at the Miners Market.

This guitar pick is made from Sow Belly agate from here in Colorado.

Some may even be able to get their own this way.

Oooohhh...the one at the top of the page has to be the coolest I've ever seen!
Now, if anybody wants to "kinda" hear what they sound like, go over to the "Jam Sessions" catagory and follow the thread. I did a Joe Satriani song with this pick. It is great!!!!!!
Thanks D&D!

TY Todd and for those interested......here's the direct link to Todd's recording using a ColoradoProspector.com stone pick if you would like to listen.

Sounds awesome Todd!!

Here are a few I was able to get from a cool piece of Fire Agate from a friend.
They are not perfect as you can see by the small cracks at the top of them, but they sure turned out great! All the spots that have brown have flashy fire in it. You can see the fire on both side on the one pick on the left. Both are very thin.
The plume with this stuff is amazing! Its white with pink and red swirled together.
Very hard to see any detail from this picture, but I think they sure look cool held up to the light. Sure is pretty stuff and was fun to work!

Dan added this picture to the Rockin' For Mining thread, but I want to put it here also since this is from Fire Agate we mined ourselves from the Opal Hill mine.
I catch myself playing with the little orange ball flame in the pick to the top....hehe
The fire in that bubble is orange and then green if you hold it right.

This stuff has the most amazing fire bubbles!
Even the crystal areas have color flashes like blue, green, orange, and red.

Here is one Im keeping for myself from a slice of blue ThunderEgg,
with great shadow bands in it.
Its slabbed so thin, its hard to see its blue when held up to the light,
but put it on a white piece of paper and you can definately tell its blue.

Here is one from a purple piece of Chalcedony with dendritic inclusions.
This one is also for my personal collection.
The white plume in it is very pretty, and mixed with the dendritic looks like a butterfly in the upper top left.


Does the stone look familiar bigcats?
You wanted to know what a guitar pick would look like from it, so here it is.
It turned out beautiful!!

these pics are just great! is there anyone else making picks like you are doing? maybe you have cornered the market on these! have you sent out(free) to any bands/artists to use these and maybe get some free advertising around the country? wouldnt this be so cooooooool, having a big band/artist saying "I only use D&D stone picks!"

[Denise]

Uhoh...Looks like Russ missed a few posts.......hehe
Read the second post I made in this thread (page5).
2 of the people on the list are even friends of yours I believe, that received a free guitar pick I made from material we found prospecting. (Rockin' For Mining!)

As for being the only one making these......No way!....hehe
Stone has to be some of the oldest medium used for picks.

"wouldnt this be so cooooooool, having a big band/artist saying "I only use D&D stone picks!"

There are several out there now that do say that Russ.
Im very proud to know they enjoy and play with the picks we make.
All are made will lots of love and care by me, after slabbed by Dan.

Here is one I made from material we found near Del Norte Colorado.
The agate patterns look like bubbles, and when you move it around, you can see shadows inside each bubble.....This one is also mine.
