a little differant.
« on: March 05, 2012, 04:38:48 pm »
I found some tan chert the other day & when spalling it out I found some quartz inclusions in it. I tried to make some points & leave some quartz in them. This is how they turned out. Sorry the pic is not the best. I need to get a real camera & stop using this phone.

Stunning as always! I do not want to even think about inclusions.
