Hi Everyone, Just finished uploading some pictures to photobucket so I could share with everyone. A few new cabs I have cut recently, not sure what some of them are so if anyone can help with the ID's, please feel free to share with the rest of us. This is a cab I cut from some Palm Bog, I went in from the top instead of the side. another view of it. Unknown An end cut I got from Sheri Covellite Rhodenite Black Plume, from Sheri Chrysocolla Poppy I got from Deb-daniel, New stuff I found by Lake Pleasant Another end cut from Sheri Apache Gold Shattuckite Another end cut from Sheri Chrysocolla from the agate pile. Shattuckite Chrysocolla Confetti Chrysocolla Gem Silica A set of travertine cabs Jelly Opal, not my best for sure. Thanks for looking.

That's a great batch of cabs. I actually really like the jelly opal. It reminds me I need to hunt some more of that stuff down.
Also really like all of the chryocolla.

Wow, The 'Lake-Pleasant-rockite' and Confetti Chrysocolla are great. They will look great with some silver around them. The rest are also wonderful but the metalsmith in me jumped at those 2 pieces. Bennett

Cool! About time you posted some more of your pretty cabs. Love that first palm fiber and all the pretty blue rocks. Really like the way you shaped that palm too. That makes an especially neat stone.....Mel

Glad to see you post again Jamie but now my eyes hurt! lol Great group of cabs. You can tell Sheri anytime she wants to get rid of some end cuts she can just mail them to me. ;D Is that black plume a doublet? Love the way you cut that palm bog. That jelly opal has some real colorful flash. No way I can pick a fave. Thanks for posting.

Great cabs! I love the palm bog, first unknown, and the end cuts! Well, I like the rest too, so I guess they all are my favorite!

Man you really worked your magic this time. That unknown is out of this world. You caught a gorgeous light show in that Opal. I love your Confetti stones and that first one has a really different pattern to it. It's so beautiful.

What gorgeous cabs!!!!!! I'll take some stuff from Lake Pleasant anytime. And you sure get a pretty polish on your chrysocolla - something I seem to be incapable of doing. Now you just have to get busy and wrap all of them! Susan

I have an affinity for bogs, I tend to get mired in things. That palm bog is my fave, along with the unknown. They are all really nice cabs. The travertine set appeals to the silversmith in me!

You people are way too nice.........
Thank you very much for all the nice comments. Our wheels are in such sad shape, we are lucky to finish with anything that resembles a cabochon.
I like your signature rockchalk.
Ed, where have you been? Are you all better now? Are you coming for the burro creek trip in February?
