Great cabs Steve! That Montana is crazy looking. The Lagunas have great color. Do you own a Laguna claim? I've been trying to get some good Laguna cutters.

You too were in the oval mood, Steve! Even the freeform big echostone is close to a perfect oval! I simply cannot pick a favorite, picking one of them would do unjustice yo the others. Adrian

Steve: You are getting to be quite the proficient cabber!!! WOW, that was a nice set, it is hard to pick a fav!!!! I guess I would have to say the rutilated quartz, cause I just love that stuff. But they are all very well done!!! Your ovals are perfect, great shines!!!! Very nice batch! Did you wake up in your laguna claim? Amber

Very nice set Steve. I can not pick a favorite. As I scrolled down I said that one, no that one, no that one...

Every time I scrolled down I had a new favorite, until I hit that Montana...boy, that's a gorgeous stone! The rest are truly spectacular, as well, Montanas are just a favorite of mine.

Great set, Steve. Sorry you are such a wuss and have to be warm before you can cab Great results from the heat though. Love the rutilated. And the copper! I was just looking at the cab I cut from that copper you sent me. I love that cab. T

Well, when you have fun, we all have fun looking at the fun you had. Beautiful group of cabs. I think my favorite is the Tahoma but only because it has a really neat scene of land and sky but with the effect that you are looking at it through a bubble.

You are turning into one of the better cabbers here. Really nice batch. I love that copper ore material. The shape on the Morrisonite is really nice. The echostones are fantastic too. OK they are all fantastic.

Holey Moley Steve!
You had a sunny field day and no doubt! What a fantastic selection of cabs, your cutting some super stones Sir! I love your Echo-Stones - they are gorgeous combinations and a real treat for the eye everytime. The Deschutes Jasper is awesome, those bubbly bands are glorious, and the shape and shine is lovely.
Rutilated Quartz is on my list, and you've just moved it up 10 places, that's a cracking cab, really beautiful stone. But I have to say my favourite of the bunch is that Copper Ore - wow that stone has some detail and what a pretty pattern and shade, superb work! I'm champing at the bit to get on my cabber now - hurry up and move house Mr Sparkles - I feel the need to cut some shinies! ;D
Thanks for sharing your results!
Cheers,
Sparkles.
