Wow Daniel, thank you for taking us on a tour of Heaven! I am so in love with everything I saw I want to live in your shop and learn all of your secrets! (If I ever get enough money maybe I will drop in for a lesson from Master Daniel!) You have a BEAUTIFUL daughter and such a wonderful shop and so much rock I think I maybe passed out a little looking at those pictures! I am sure I see a woman on a rock in one of those crates (really - go look too and see!) -- SO NICE!!

  still far away from master level........thanks for compliments Frank, i'm sure she (the women pict) is somewhere on those slabs, they all have a huge possibility for figure or scenic cabs

[itsandbits1]

you're right Frank
It looks like Anne of Green Gables or that actress from The Pelican Breif; Julia Roberts

Thanks for the pictures! Looks like a nice setup! I must have missed it (I'm new), but what region/country are you in? It looks very beautiful. Thailand, perhaps?

Hi Jon.....I'm in Indonesia, i loved can be here around with all good friends talking, sharing, learning, and trading. This is the best place in world for rock people

I just noticed some of your coral in that very last rock picture - one looks like it may be a honeycomb shape, I have one like that but when I cut it the inside was not stable (bad luck - that happens sometimes) - so nice!

You're right Frank.....i have some, and also others type. I just don't have enough time to slab them all, looks like i have enough rocks for my doughter if she want to cut some in future

Thanks Roy.....

I saw that picture too, 3rd Rock, and thought that someone had either painted it on or stuck a photo on a rock, strange what one notices isn't it?

Great to see your set up Daniel. That is a heap of rocks you have there. Good to see you championing quality lapidary arts in Indonesia.
