This particular stone was cut pretty much from just below the crust of the rough. The result was a lot of agate with floating orb effect.

I did not take any pics through out the process. The backing was textured by running it through a rolling mill. Something that is on my wish list ! They are very expensive, but a member of my forum shared one that only costs 130.00. It is perfect for what I would be using it for. Now the possibility of having one is a bit more possible !<\/p>\n<p>The bail is a step type bezel tape that I ground off the step part leaving just the pattern part. Then used gallery type wire to set the stone in. This turned out to be one of my favorite pieces so far !<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/taogem.userblogs.ganoksin.coms\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f7744_a_motivation5.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\" width=\"198\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hope ya like em, and thanks for stopping in !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something to blog about !
