Oval cabs (all 30x22mm) Orbicular jasper Orbicular jasper I don't know how to name this one. It is chalcedony. Purple chalcedony This one was really surprise for me. I examined my old pile of rocks from one field work and was really surprised when I cut it. I supposed that it could be nice but I didn't expect this. I don't know how you would call it. It is a chalcedony, with a bit of small agate and is also orbicular. With back light. Jasper Light green opal Blue lace agate. This is only one that isn't made out of Serbian rocks. Brecciated jasper Silicified rohodochrosite Agate with carbonate minerals - it hurts. Just as I was preparing to take the pictures my older daughter decided that this one was her favorite one. And... she took a bite. As you can see I was in the photo taking mood tonight, so it couldn't be without my girls. The older one - Stasha, She took that bite. Younger one - Mina. Usually she is destroyer. Sorry about numerous pictures. I tried to make them as small as possible. Thanks for looking. Zotika

Awww Zotika, your daughters are beautiful! And so are your cabs, that back lit one is stunning, but the purple chalcedony is my favorite. Shame about the chip out of the heart, that was a really pretty one too.

Get those silly rocks out of the way so we can see the cute kids! Ok, ok. The cabs are up to your usual beautiful standards and I love them all!

Nive looking cabs Zotika. Too bad about your broken heart. From the looks of your daughters, there's gonna be a lot of broken hearts in the future. I'm sure you're quite proud of them. Careful though, they grow up fast.

looks as if Mina is just coming out of the 60/90 grit --maybe a little rough around the edges yet --throw her in the 600/1000 for a couple weeks and then in the polish for awhile ---I'm sure she will turn out as beautiful as Stasha is in a short time !! ;D ;D--and tell the birthday girl "happy birthday" for me!! oh, and as always, your cabs look great too!!
