Here are a few cabs that I have cut recently. They are all 18 x 25. I still need to trim and polish the edges. These are the ones that photo'd half way decently. I have cut a baker's dozen, but needless to say the rest did not photo well. I am making pendents for the girls on my soccer team. They did come out shiny, see the last pic, you can see my fingers! Bruneau Jasper Montana Agate Unknown Aqua Nueva Agate (I think this will be a favorite with the girls - ages 6-8. After all, they are the Pink Pirates- the girls picked the team name) Royal Sahara jasper Another Bruneau Flame Agate And the one with my fingers in the pic

They are beautiful! The second Bruneau, the RSJ and the Montana are great.

You are going to have a team of screaming, jumping up and down with excitement, little girls when they see these! Fantastic job! Fran

Beautiful cabs! They are far more than (barely) picture worthy! Those are some lucky girls!

Thanks for the kind words. I need some tips on taking better photo's. These pictures were taking with macro. I also had a hood like extension over the lens - Should I take it off? I also tried taking pictures in the shade, some with the sun to my back, others with the sun in front of me. Would a darker background help? I took the pictures in the riker mount box that cushions the cabs with white cotton. Thanks in advance for any tips.
I have been making gifts for the kids when I help coach. Last year, they got pendants with a glued on bail with a leather necklace. Last spring, my son's baseball team got key chains. This year, the girls are doing fantastic. In the last game, they won 6-1. They are 3-1 so far this season! And, the team is the same basic team as last year, when we only scored one goal all season!
