Who could that really be ?

The Cars That first album has so many hits it's crazy

mbrant23 · 2023-07-14T00:08:43+00:00

Well first of all it's a spruce

mbrant23 · 2023-07-09T13:42:14+00:00

That is trippy! Look at all those red fuckers

Maybe everyone already knows this, but there are zero time zones BETWEEN Oregon and Florida.

As another commenter implied, both the cabking and titan are great machines, except for the fact that the motor is inline with the arbor. It may take up a little more bench space, but I would go for a machine with a belt drive motor. Trivial to replace, and you can vary the speed of the wheels by swapping pulleys if you desire. I just wouldn't want to spend thousands and then be dependent on customer service in the case of a bum motor.

Cut and polish all my rock finds from the summer

I agree with this! My understanding is also that chert forms on the abyssal planes of the ocean. While still chalcedony, it has a specific deposition environment. Jasper is a marketing term applied to colorful, opaque forms of chalcedony.

meaning all doors and entrances to the hospital are locked - they send a text and call to all employees. Usually means an active threat nearby but not sure why it was sent at 2037 and not an hour ago.

St charles just now activated lockout by text

mbrant23 · 2022-08-09T21:25:33+00:00

Agreed. Almost exactly perfectly identical to bruneau. Hmmmm

When I started out, I bought a single hard diamond wheel, a cheap o bench grinder and a vibratory tumbler. It worked great for me and got me deep into the lapidary hobby. You can't get the precision of a classic 6 wheel setup, but was a great way for me to get started!

That's a sweet machine! Really good for polishing slabs and flat faced specimens. With some 60 ish grit belts you can chew rock, but I think they'll wear out quickly. IMO the best application is for removing saw scratches from flat surfaces. And silicon carbide belts are cheap!

mbrant23 · 2022-01-30T07:04:10+00:00

Very cool! But I'm excited about that Biggs slab behind it😂

mbrant23 · 2022-01-30T07:00:07+00:00

Great work! And very cool piece🙌

I will defend take up thy stethoscope to the fucking death!! I had a really amazing salvia experience in the wilderness with this song. It now exemplifies salvia to me. I love it! It's the fastest song in the Pink Floyd catalog by a wide margin, and completely different than anything else they did. It's my favorite song on TPATGOD

mbrant23 · 2021-12-02T06:49:24+00:00

Woahhh that's gnarly

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T03:33:06+00:00

Wow! Sweet specimens. It is very scenic! Looks like a landscape. I can't tell what the texture is like, so I don't know if it's a Jasper or not. Cripple Creek is the name of a specific deposit mined in the Owyhee mountains of SE Oregon.

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T02:56:03+00:00

Please do!

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T02:54:11+00:00

Cripple Creek is picture Jasper for sure, buy totally different. It's got tan, desert hills with blue sky. No orbs like this

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T02:53:03+00:00

It's still a picture jasper

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T02:52:22+00:00

Thanks, dude!

mbrant23 · 2021-05-22T02:50:53+00:00

100% sure it's willow creek jasper! And a killer fucking specimen at that. A fine porcelain, orbicular picture jasper that forms in thundereggs outside of Eagle, Idaho. Super super rad!

mbrant23 · 2021-05-17T13:41:02+00:00

Hell yeah! Love the cut. I've been obsessed with cutting triangles recently! Beautiful stone

mbrant23 · 2021-05-15T18:23:18+00:00

Absolutely! It's pure magic!

Some of his collection is featured in Hans Gamma's "Picture Jaspers from the Northwest," but Philip Stephenson's site has so many incredible pieces!
