Here are some of the cabs I've done over the last month. I have a few others but I'll put them in specific threads.
Beryl. I bought this at a show, its was being sold as a specimen but it wasn't very interesting for that use. Camera did a lousy job of getting the color.
Burro Creek agate I got from Jamie and Rodney on our trip.
Chrysocolla also from Jamie and Rodney.
Confetti chrysocolla also from J & R.
Another confetti chrysocolla.
Chrysophrase that Amber gave me, not sure where she got it.
Maripostie also from Amber.
Mel I need your help on this one. Amber made one from this as well and I can't remember what you called it. We got it from Stonesthatrock. Love the color.
Mississippi River agate. This came from Thunder69. Thanks John I love the subtle colors of this stuff. I'm glad I have about 10 more pounds of it.
Owyhee jasper.
Rhodonite.
Agate from Sassrock, pretty stuff.
Tahoma from Mossyrockhound. He suggested I try cutting the along the seam instead of across which is typical. I don't think I ground deep enough on this one.
Tahoma cut the same way again but ground deeper. This is one of my faves and will be going into my personal collection.
Tiffanystone. I got this from Amber because she didn't like the look of it. I personally love it.
Tiger eye from Amber. She shaped it and wasn't fond of it so I stole it and finished it. Probably the flashiest piece I've ever cabbed.
Black tourmaline (schorl) in quartz. Got a big chunk of this at the auction we went to in May.
Not sure what it is or where I got it but I love it.
Another unknown.
Slag glass from Amber. She bought this at the auction. Its the first piece of glass I ever cabbed.
I have about 10 more to post but I'll put them in different threads since there is a theme to them. Thanks for looking.
