Love the moss, but that Poppy is awesome I like the sort of terra cotta color! And I love the way there are 2 perfect flowers framed in there. Very nice. Amber

Thank you guys very much. Yes, the Montana galaxy! I really like the black dendrites in the first two. The Poppy jasper is like a fractured fairy tale, I can slab it but it's so fractured that I can't get too many cabs out of the rough. I have a small piece that has a flower in white quartz, I might be able to get a small cab out of that one.
My shine comes from my new 14,000 wheel I got for my Genie, it does add quite a bit too the depth of the shine.

Awesome Montana's! MHPJ is so beautiful, and such a pain to work with. You did an excellent job on it.

Cool Cabs Fishenman! You cut some corkers there Sir! Nice job! That Montana Agate is gorgeous stuff and you've ground some beautiful examples there, the matched pair is fabulous, I love seeing the symmetry in nature, and I like circular stones anyway!! The other cabs are really great too, particularly that Moss specimen, great shine on all of them Mate, you did a grand job! Cheers, Sparkles.

Wow, I almost missed these. Excellent job on all of them. Very cool Montana's but the poppy is way cool. I've got some of that quartz type material and it really does make nice cabs. These days I don't even mess with trying to cut cabs from a full slab. I just drop the slab on the garage floor, then cab the pieces. I figure if it survives the drop on the cement, it will be good enough to cab!!!!!
