;D Well, I've been cabbing all along, but I did some different stuff and I wanted to show it off. (still talking about the cabs) ;D Anyhow, check it out.... The first two cabs I'm really proud of, because for the first time ever, I actually cabbed something that I "myself" and my wife found, like out in the wild! These were found from the trip to naturenut's during our three day visit with her and her bf. I wish that it could have been three weeks! lol... oh, the pics.... Check this out, I found an ugly rock, but it had that distinct ring to it when you tap it against another rock, so I bagged it and brought it home, here's three pics of it, I love it! And the second cab, check out the amazing blue flash!! Cathy found this one, she bagged alot of these rocks and I'm hoping to find many more with the blue flash (I can't believe I actually caught it in the pic!..... Now some freeform action, I'm not sure what this is, the rock came from Jamie.... This is a piece of the Stone Canyon jasper that I won off ebay.... Another Stone Canyon, same rock. Each cut is completely different!! Rainbow obsidian, this piece I got from "James" a long time ago.... Another rock that I received from Jamie.... And one more from Jamie.... Lepidolite, these two are from a 16 pound chunk that I won off ebay last year.... Group shot... Thanks for looking!

Oh my, how pretty. Could the one that has the blue flash be moon stone? (Ken thought it could be). Donna

Oh Randy, that black one looks like electric glitter. Love the rainbow obsidian too and the moss. You killed them! Jo

Great looking cabs. There is an extra thrill in finding the stone and then cabbing it that makes the hobby more enjoyable.

Good to see you cutting again. The first stone canyon is my favorite. Perfect shape and pattern. Awesome!!

Isn' great to know the cab ismade entirely by you, from picking the rock from the dirt untill the final polish? Beautiful work on all of them, my favorites are the yellow triangle and the black ovals.

Randy: You really know how to cut and find the flash in our PA rocks, that looks awesome! The cabs are beautiful as always, but I am very impressed with your freeforms, they look super!!! I love the stone canyon!! I really like the white one from Jamie! Nice work on everything, you have been busy!!! Amber

Great looking group there Randy. That first one reminds me some Honduran opal that I've cabbed. The flash in the moonstone is bluer than any I've found so far. Nice freeforms too, I'm not sure I've ever seen any from you before.

Nice job Randy. And you actually got a decent pic of the rainbow obsidian, and that's no easy task!

Oh these are so pretty! Finding them yourself just seems to make them better! That black one is really pretty and the moonstone looks really pretty with that blue flash in it! Fran
