Initially, I thought I was going to be doing yard work all day on Sunday since the weeds were getting tall. Two young boys knocked on the door and said they would take care of the yard work for a reasonable price. I took them up on their offer. They cut the weeds, my dog cut the cheese, and I cut the rocks. Here's what I got done... Yard sale find. I think this is either fancy jasper or bloodstone. It was a pretty hard material and took a lot of work on the SC 600 and worn 600. Finally, I got the scratches out and it took a mirror polish. Polka Dot Agate - material from bobby1. I call this one the ghost cab. Brazilian from bobby1. The white spots in the picture are not on the cab. This took a fabulous polish. Another Brazilian, from who else, bobby1. The white spot at the top is a lighting photo issue. If I remember correctly this is tube agate. Sorry about the blurry photo, it's the best I could do with my old camera. This was in a 25Lb box of stuff I purchased from stonesthatrock. Graveyard from bobby1. This has a really nice shine and the brown steaks have a silver color in them. I call it lightning. Thanks for looking.

Great cabs. I love the shapes of the polka dot and the brazilian but my favs are the tube agate and the grave yard.

Beautiful, all of them. I like the bloodstone, the Brazilian and the polka dot the most.

Gorgeous batch! I think my favorite is the polka dot, but that tube agate is a close 2nd.

Well, I am happy to hear there are stilll some young boys wanting to work to earn money! You did a great job working on cabs and that bloodstone really shows it! They are all really pretty but that tube agate really looks neat! Fran

That is a great looking batch. Isn't fancy jasper just nicer bloodstone? That tube agate is my fav, I've never worked any of that.
