Unakite cabochon with material from Brazil. I like the orange flecks of feldspar in this one plus the little quartz windows that give it some green, mossy depth. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochons #jewelry #pendant

Not bad for parking lot finds in Baton Rouge, LA. @jbh124.bsky.social did some fine picking! Her rockhound eye was on! No time for real hunting this work trip. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures

Nothing like coming home to 20lbs of of some darn pretty crazy lace waiting for you. The first piece is almost 6lbs. I foresee some pretty cabs and other creations in the future! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #crazylaceagate #cabochons

Turquoise and coin silver hand fabricated ring. I did all the stone work lapidary and the silver fabrication myself. By design the petrified wood protects the beautiful gem grade turquoise in a shadow box look. #jewelry #relicjewelry #turquoisejewelry #turquoise

For that matter, I ALSO often think of this vision of heaven from Tony Kushner's Angels in America which in its context functions as a parable: it's a description of heaven, but the Roy Cohn character assumes it is hell.
![Like San Francisco.
…
Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that. Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth, gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens.
…
Prophet birds, Roy. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cow spit streamers in the wind. And voting booths. And everyone in Balenciaga gowns with red corsages, and big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all the deities are creole, [mixed race], brown as the mouths of rivers. Race, taste and history finally overcome. …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oog6aibkmruggcnd7n4cjzle/bafkreigj2pwi7g6whsqvji3aehmcsbzkprd4okjsnprjtf7c7tymoosv6a@jpeg)

Swazi agate cab that turned out nicely. I like the color split of pinkish/red and light purple. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agates #cabochons #jewelry

West Texas agate, Kokernut o6 Ranch material. I like the black and gold combo with the “eyes”. Polished up nicely! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agates #cabochons #jewelry

Some little slabs I cut last night. I cut one or two slabs out of each rock so I always have a variety of material to work with. Some of this material is self collected. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #slabs #cabochons #pendants

Cool little crazy lace specimen with a top of eyes on a bed of crystals. I went ahead and face polished the sides which I left uneven so it isn’t “perfect” but looks a lot nicer than leaving it completely rough. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #facepolish #crystals

Sometimes the most striking pieces don’t need color, just form and reflection.

this happened much more recently to a few someones, only it was a small band of women in lapidary doing the running and yelling
then everyone got treated to a spontaneous discussion of faceting and optics
this child would instantly have 5 godmothers today

Here is one you may not be familiar with: Paso Berwyn Agate from Patagonia, Argentina. Not common at all. The agate beds where this is found was covered by a volcanic eruption in 2001. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates

3 Swazi agates I cut slabs out of last night. These should make great cabs. The last one looked like a dud but I think it will look great cabbed too. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agate #agates #cabochon
