I finished these up last month and probably won't get anymore done in the next two months. By then I might have my lathe set up and be too busy turning to cab anyway. Zebra stone Wonderstone from Randy Seraphinte Roan leopard marble Picture jasper, not sure what kind Oregon pink opal. From Amber from Stonesthatrock Lapidolite from Randy Labradorite, note the lines of color at this angle The flash Confetti agate from Africa B.O. Blue swirlstone from Randy Blue calcite Antique tapestry jade from California PA moonstone from Naturenut

Nice group Tony. I'm having a difficult time choosing a favorite. The confetti agate is really cool and the jade from CA is really nice too. Oh heck, I like all of them!

wow. No way could I narrow it down to just one, not possible. Close as I could get would be 3- the Seraphinite, the Boulder, and the Labradorite. I think............they are all so beautiful..........

Wow Tony! This is a really varied batch of materials. We'll be missing seeing your cabs for a while, but hopefully you'll share your turnings, too. It's hard to pick a favorite, so I'll have to pick a couple: the confetti, jade and labradorite.

The pink opal, lepidolite, and (of course) BO are my faves.
So, what you gonna be turning?

That labradorit is my favorite! WOW
The confetti stone is exactly like one I made - mine fractured (after my son dropped it) along the line that's on yours too - I love that stuff - mine was called "swazi bloodstone"

You do beautiful work. I think you outta "turn yourself around" and stick with rocks. You're too good to "turn your back" on it!

Nice batch of cabs Tony! That particular labradorite cab is quite amazing with that flash. I really like that pink opal too. Nice job on all of them. Garry

Honey, these are beautiful! I think you will still get some cabbong time in, but finishing school is the most important thing right now!! I love the confetti agate, the jade and that blue calcite is really cool! Good job! I am looking forward to the wood turning, I need bowls for some stones!!! A

Beautiful cabs, Tony! The Oregon opal, the Wonderstone and the Labradorite are my favorites. I still hope i'll see your cabs in the future, you will cab at least as a break Adrian

Beautiful work, Tony! That lab with the cross hatching is amazing, and that is a very nice bo, and I love the shape on the pink opal! So, what? Now you have perfected cutting you just give it up and go back to turning? Man, you and me need to talk T

Thanks all for the comments. I don't think I can ever give up cabbing but over the next two months I have 3 classes at college, my house sold so I have lots of packing and moving to do, not to mention my full time job. It has been a year since I've turned and I do need to get some things done for people.

Nice cabs Tony. I know how you feel about the engineering classes. 3 courses on top of full time work is tough. It will pay off in the end though.

Another amazing group Tony! I will miss seeing your work but you sure have a lot going on right now. Job and School first, then you will have time for this later...after the moving, etc... Good luck with it all! Fran
