I have recently gotten the bug, and my brother is active in the local
gem and mineral society.
I have only done a handful of stones, and so far my first has been my most successful. From the pile, I found a nice chunk of rutilated quartz. I had envisioned a thick round lensatic shape. I had the round shape about right, and
was working on the first dome, when I noticed a fracture, and attempted to work around it. I ended up with a nice oval cab, about 12x15mm., with some cool rutile in it.
If I can get a good pic, I will post it up.

Nice work Midnight.
