    These are simply "little beuties" to hold and look at.

    Marble--On!!

     

    Yes, I wanted to place the marble next to these ruby slippers of Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz', as I find that the air bubbles match quite well with the beads of these

    I love making these connections, it amuses me!

    Yes I'm a superfan of agates, aka realers, aka aggies.

    At their peak of production in Germany, the craftsmanship was stunning, though the working conditions were abysmal. Inhaling wet dust all day for poverty wages in a dank little shop takes its toll.

    I don't buy many newly made agates, but there's at least one factory in Brazil (I don't know more about it) that produces stellar dyed agates of traditional playing size.

    Recently I found a 1" Brazil-made agate on eBay that appears to have facets. I don't have it in hand yet but it makes me curious whether basic rough faceting remains a core stage of the agate sphere making process today, presumably done before they put them on the grinding cups?

    Very interesting, thank you for showing this beautiful Agate.

    Now I am waiting for this one, and I hope it is really like this one, because it is not a single piece

    @Roberto That spinning display is AMAZING, especially for the lutz, so good. 

    Here are my Sunday best, I took so many photos of my larger Spirals this morning and here are my two favorite Sunday photos, both Onyx.

    Thank you! Yes, I thought that to fully admire the brilliance and beauty of the lutz, it is necessary for it to be in motion.

    Beautiful, your Onyx, especially the green one, what size is it?
