Here is a closeup of a heart I made from a piece of Dinosaur bone.
 Love the patterns and colors in this piece, and it has translucent spots when held up to the light. Almost looks like stars in the night sky.

Since Dan took my pick, I took his pic.
  Great picture Dan!!This is a zoom in of a Iris Agate guitar pick I made. Kind of looks like an Easter egg doesnt it? 
Happy Easter everyone!

I recently went to an estate sale in Jackson. There was a lot of stuff from an old rockhound collection. Thats where I found the second slab of palmwood that I posted earlier. We were told that there was a pile of rock under a rubbish pile out back.We dug through it and found a good wheel barrow full of misc. rock. This was the first piece that I spotted. Lucky me. Tiger iron. I thought I'd take a closer look with my little camera. Wow was I surprised! enjoy!

I know exactly which piece that last pick came from, nice! That pic would make an excellent jigsaw puzzle... kinda like an MC Escher drawing.
Ironstone macros are also nice, those colors have always fascinated me, very vivid. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Thanks Chris, it is a very interesting piece I think. Im not sure what Im going to do with it yet though, maybe sculpt it or leave just as it is.
MC Escher is an amazing artist, I love his work!

Thanks Chris! The agate around here is fantastic stuff with great patterns. Love the close up mineral shots, one of my favorites to take.
