First cab ever - PA jasper

Finally got a chance to try preforming, dopping and grinding some of my creek finds. 3 of the four dops broke during grinding (didn't use enough wax - not enough support at the edges). The fourth held up and I made some good progress. Plenty of room or improvement, but I'm definitely pleased with the results. Others are re-dopped and getting ground tonight! Some pics with the parent rock.

Very impressive for your first cab.  In fact, you've done way better than I did on my first cab.  Well done! Grin

I agree with Scott.
Very pretty material and great work, especially for your first attempt!
Great pictures, too. Look forward to more!

Very nice!  That would make a beautiful copper wrapped pendant.
