With lots of help and advice, my cabs are getting better. I have several from other RTHers including Ed, Steve and Randy and mine don't even compare. But, I'll keep practicing as time allows! The first shot is for color, then I changed the exposure and position and shot again for shine. For reference, the Morrisonite cab is 2 1/4" high. Row 1: Morrisonite, unknown moss from Tony, Ruby in Zoisite (sp) color faded due to richness of others, Tampa Bay coral collected with Jeff & Amber. Row 2: All Kaleidoscope from Rhode's Cabbin. What looks like a fracture running down the middle of the first one is an optical illusion! It's solid as it can be. Row 3: Bloodstone, Jasp/Agate, Indian Green Moss, Ocean Jasper, Pet. Wood Thank you all for looking! Susan

Very pretty cabs! I like them all - the kaleidoscope is amazing stuff. I like that coral also - unique looking, very pretty. Good job - I don't see any flaws in your shines!

They all look good, but I am really drawn to the green moss.

Beautiful cabs! Clean smooth shapes and liquid shine! The bloodstone and the pink/green moss are my favorites.

Thank all of you for the encouragement! Some of you chose my favorite - the Indian green moss. I think it looks like cotton candy!

Susan: WOW, you've become a cabbing champ! How is the set up, using the same stuff? You got killer shines and the cabs are beautiful. I love the kalidiscopes the best, what super material!!! Great job!!!! Amber

Susan your shapes look great and your shine is really good as well. Its not fair to yourself to compare your cabs to those you mentioned. Those guys have been doing this for quite a while and are top echelon cabbers here.

Susan, That's a Very Fine bunch of Cabs! You should be very proud of each of them. I haven't seen much Kaleidoscope cabbed...and that material is really Great! I can see why Dale is so excited about the discovery. Thanks for sharing Susan...Keep up the Great Work~!! Steve

These look pretty good to me. You're getting an awesome polish. The Morrisonite is really cool.
