    Gerry, thanks for your excellent and informative reply. Being new to
    all of this, i dont wanna make costly mistakes in any aspect of this
    advocation... i'm as 'underfunded' as everybody else! :)   I bought
    5,6,7 ibs of scrap jade slices and some lovely (to me) agate (mook,
    poppy, etc) slices that i'd like to have cut into cabs of unique
    shape; shields/hexes/freeform, etc. for pendants or brooches. 

    I dont need the complication of inflicting commercialism into my lil
    hobby, so i'm not looking to sell or profit. but i dont wanna come
    up too far $hort! I have a dream of myself performing the entire
    process from me mining the rock to cutting/faceting to designing the
    ring/pendant to casting it. 'Til then, i'll rely on those that are
    the experts to supply me the goods or services, other than the
    design. i'm an art director and pretty good creatively. Do you have a
    web site, i'd like to see what you've done. thanks again, art
    (mcfallart AT aol)
