I did end up giving that cairn posted above to my wife for her b-day - she was trilled, and commented on how hard it must have been for me to give it to her :) - she knows me well - it now sits in her office at work.

so i needed to get busy and build some for me.

the first one pictured was built quickly - although it took three weeks of looking at the rock supply and playing with different set ups before the form came to me. that base quarts stone came very close to being another stone flower base, had even drilled all the holes in stone's for that would be flowers. just as i was about to drill i balanced the green second stone and the rest fell into place.

i was busy building the other one when i wasn't playing the different ideas for the first one shown. Look close at the base rock of the second one - cool mixture of green, red, and white.

think i'm about done now - wife will be happy not to have to listen to the hammer drill.
