Anyhow, my humble contribution to the picture collection. ;D Another Imperial jasper cab (same rock as before).... Jade (first pice that I ever cabbed, this stuff is hard!!!) .... Montana moss agate from the local rockshop rock pile.... backlit...... Mookaite? Another beautiful moss agate from Jamie.... Sonora sunrise.... Stone Canyon #1.... Stone Canyon #2 Stone Canyon #3 Something black from the local rockshop rock pile.... African blue swirlstone from Kim (rockyraccoon) Medicine Bow agate #1 Medicine Bow agate #2 Medicine Bow agate #3 Something Green..... Something lacy.... How did I do this time? ;D lol

Hot damn! And I struggle to get even ONE to look decent! I think you must have a room full of 6-year-olds, like Nike, all chained to cabbing machines!
What a gorgeous set of cabs. The imperial jasper and the blue swirlstone command me to look again. And again.......

excellent work....good job on the jade, it's tricky to work with! Nice looking piece, great apple green color! Do you know if it is nephrite or jadeite?

Dang Randy, another wonderful set of stones. Again, I'm really liking all your creative shapes. Still can't believe you don't use dop sticks. I'd have freaking stones shooting all over my shop if I tried to hand hold while cutting domes. *L* I've got to give the nod to the Stone Canyon suite of stones. Those are too cool!....Mel

Just love the shine and the shapes. The Stone canyons are wicked and that Something Green is very interesting. It looks yellow to me
You done good, real good.

Thanks y'all! I think that my personal favorites are the blue swirlstone, imperial jasper, and Canyon #3. I love stuff with both colors and patterns. Mike- not sure about the jade, I don't even remember where I got that one. I have a few decent sized slabs of it, but only remember that one of them came from my brother-in-law.

That African Blue is by far my favorite. Absolutly stunning. Between cabbing and primming, do you ever sleep?

Randy, Only 16? I just don't know how you can knock so many out! Even the lace with crystals at the edge behaved for you! They are all great! Fran

Nice shapes and polish.
I don't dop and if I cut sixteen cabs over a weekend, my fingers would be bloody stumps.
