Thanks guys!

Benella, I love the carvin' jack! It's fun!

Conga, thanks! Magnifying head band... that's the way I see that little stuff!

and JP - it's Serpentine stone, which is green. Oils from your fingers can make it dark, but I hadn't intended on making it dark. I was hoping the green would stay. But, after I put beeswax on it - that is when it happeneed. I heated up the rock a little too, so the beeswax would flow, but the consequence was unintended. It does look kinda neat though, now that I'm done with it.

I think the serpentine stone is ok for learning, but as soon as I get good enuf (if ever), I'll try some jade.

Thanks for the comments and checking it out.
