Mondo-licious. The opals are my fav, although I am a sucker for seraphinite. Killer pics too. Jo

Very nice cabs, post more!!! I really like the Rio Puerco Jasper!! Can't wait to see the charoite, that is one of my favorite stones. Beautiful job on all! The pet woods are really cool, especially the 2nd! Amber

Beautiful cabs! All nice, but my favorite is the second dendritic opal. Garry

That opal should be named anything but "common", gorgeous cabs! And the pet wood cabs are both jaw-droppers!

I love your shapes and the way you laid out your pics. The last Opal and the 2nd Pet wood are amazing but my absolute favorite is that first Seraphinite. That is just gorgeous.

Great Stuff here. I have some Seraphanite, but have not had much luck with it. I have tried to stabilize it but it still breaks up and appears to be really soft. Yours turned out really nice, though.

Thanks for all the nice comments. The support is always appreciated.
I just finished the stragglers form last month. These include more of the dendretic opals, charoite, a suite of seraphinite and the gold rutile lapis doublets. I'll try to post some pixs soon.
With the seraphinite, I worked really gently and did some of the sanding by hand. It's a bit like cutting hard soap. It's easy to overdo it.

Great batch. I like the opals of course, but the top last one is very nice too. T

That top seraphinite is top frickin notch. I just love how you shaped the stone to match the flow in the stone. Love it....
