I was given some really nice dino bone on the Taogem forum from the Taogem himself. Its a really nice agatized slab and it has some amazing cell structure. I had also bought some Berrendo agate nodules and love the bright red colors. This morning I took advantage of the cool morning and cut some the stones.
There’s a new contest on the Taogem forum and I will be cabbing a bit so I can find just the right stone to put in the piece. Its been a lil while since I made a piece by just silversmithing. Lately I have only been setting a stone now and then. This will be interesting. Here are the pictures of the slabs and cabs.
