Various stages of various rocks
Here are some photos of where I am at in this passion of turning rocks into gems

Carnelian Agate and the result of Titanium Oxide as a polish

This is Agate 'raw'. Lots a tumbling to bring out the beauty in these!

Red and Yellow Jasper, from Bagdad AZ.

My very first polished stones!

This is some beautiful Green Quartz I cut up for polishing

From rough cubes and shapes to "Polished Green Quartz Aventurine"

One of my earliest and favorite stones- "Goldstone"

Amethyst in silver wrap

Tiger Eye wrapped in silver

Butter Jade, soft and smooth

Snowflake Obsidian, waiting for a saw

Lace Agate sliced (by John Sands)

A stone passed down from my Grandmother years ago

Petrified Wood, this is too cool to gamble with.

My first crack at creating something with these stones.

Quartz wraped up in Baby Blue

Very simple wrap with Green Quartz

This is my second attempt, using polished quartz

Turritella Agate, agatized turritella snails, polished

Autumn Jasper in a simple wrap with black binding wires

Here is what Territella looks like rough

Beach Rock, all polished up, usually used as fill to complete a load

Green Quartz wrapped in gold

Yellow is 'Tiger Eye', this is 'Falcon' or 'Hawk' eye

Faceting a stone is a whole nother ballgame, this is my first
