Gods forbid man! I only slave at work for 10+ hours a day and then I come home and have to do research papers and prepare for the festival! You get home from work at 12:45am and half the time I wake up at 5am to tell you to get your ass in bed! You have 5 hours to do the picture thing.

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.

Take it as you like it but I know you come through my neck of the woods on a quasi-regular basis. Feel free to use a bathroom, we have 2- and we both cook.
