Even without the pockets of opal, the ironstone matrix by itself is worthy of admiration. It's tripled in price, since I first started purchasing auctions from Gene, as more and more get entranced by this stone. And NO, I still don't have enough!
I am still woefully behind in wrapping. Just like when I first started wrapping. Lapidary came first, and it was only after I had a sizable pile of cabs with nothing to do with them, did I take to wrapping.
Pulling the cabochon from rough is so very satisfying.
BUT I was very good recently, and prepped lots of sterling and copper, to start a number of wraps.
So besides wrapping and lapidary, I started running about 3 years ago, for the first time in my life. This past weekend I ran in the Capital City Classic in the 5K. I got first place in my age group!
I still relate to myself more as a cyclist, but I was always slow as a cyclist, so it's pretty funny to find out that I'm not so slow of a runner. :) Zoom, zoom.
