Having a Friday moment. Enjoy the weekend all!

Latest cuts from today of black tourmaline, rainbow fluorite, and banded fluorite. More later after polishing. These will likely be my last efforts in lapidary. It was a fun study, but I’ve taken it as far as I can with the resources I have.

Finished polish on a cut of black tourmaline and two pieces of rainbow fluorite. Beautiful specimens!

Newest cuts of black tourmaline and rainbow fluorite and about half-way through the polishing process. More later!

Initial roughing and cutting done, now on to the polishing stage. More later…

I voted, but I think Warframe should have appeared in more categories. Even as a hard-of-hearing player, I love the soundtrack!

World of Darkness, Amber, EarthDawn, MechWarrior (not the video game), TMNT and Other Strangeness, Rifts, RoboTech, Kult, Candela Obscura, Cyberpunk 2020 + Red, The Strange, Numenera, Mörk Borg, and a few more.

You might say I like TTRPGs.

Working on my next piece, a practice chunk of metal that I’ve up-cycled into something I’m going to use elsewhere. I haven’t decided where, though…

Most of the stones and wood I’ve done in the last two weeks. They will find good homes in the coming days.

Today’s work: from raw to polished, three beautiful specimens of fluorite.

A random experiment with a chunk of wood. It was interesting, and perhaps I’ll do another. Who knows…?

Today’s work over lunch, plus an aventurine pendant I finished last night. The beauty of these stones, a mix of aventurine, fluorite, and lapis lazuli. #lapidary #fluorite #lapislazuli #aventurine #handpolished

Finished pieces, beautiful specimens of fluorite with a near glass surface. I’ll probably just give them away, but the joy was in the doing. #lapidary #fluorite #stones #stonework

A little more work and these will be on a new necklace. Green and beautiful!

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 20d

First and second passes of polishing for these gorgeous cuts. More coming tomorrow!

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 20d

Various shaping and first stage polish work from this evening. More to come as I progress into finishing the stones. What would you do with them, once they're done?

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 21d

Four other pieces from today’s efforts. Not too shabby, and the lapis is especially beautiful. Now, on to some quiet time writing and relaxing…

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 21d

The work today so far with more to come. If these were your stones, how would you want them mounted?

A little sample of my Friday evening.

I work, largely, without a support system. I do things because I can, I don’t have any other reason. I’m curious, so I learn and do.

While I don’t know what or why, I will continue to do…because I can.

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 24d

Here's a slice of what I've been doing, and what I have going. Still, more to do.

Asynkline @asynkline.info · 25d

Literacy is a more powerful tool in the modern age than people know.

* Read "Atlas Shrugged", "Fahrenheit 451", "1984", and "Animal Farm"
* Learn how to write in cursive (letter shaping and word spacing are intellectually stimulating)
* Take up a TTRPG and join a group

Just food for thought.
