Here is my latest batch of cabs. I'm doing a craft show in a few weeks and I need about another 50 to fill up my trays so expect to see more from me soon.
Unknown from Catmandew. Hopefully Tony can chime in and let me know what this is.
Unknown moss agate. Amber started this but didn't like it due to the cracks.
Unknown agate doublet. I made this cab last year but felt you couldn't see the pattern well so I decided to make it into a doublet. Its backed with black obsidian.
I have no idea what this is. I got it from Catman and he thought it was psilomene. Its obviously not. It looks like metal but ground like rock. Very messy. Any one have any clues?
Varcasite from Stonesthatrock. I love this stuff and I'm glad I have more.
Unknown from Rockhobbit. Any idea what it is Sherri?
Sodalite.
Snowflake obsidian.
Opalized wood from Adrian. He gave me this piece in Moab.
Rhodonite.
Rainbow corundum. This was an offcut from a cab for Amber and I wanted to get a feel of how it cabbed. Its softer than I imagined and only took a so so shine. I didn't notice the crack until it was almost done so it will probably be reground even skinnier.
Psilomene.
Panguitch Utah agate. When we collected this it looked like it might be dendritic. Its pretty plain so it will probably end up in the tumbler.
PA moonstone from Naturenut.
Obsidian from Catmandew. I forgot to hit it with the cerium wheel. I'll have to go back and do that to get a better shine.
Uknown agate from Fran. I'm thinking it might be a laguna.
Graveyard plume from Stonesthat rock.
Disaster Peak picture jasper McDermott Claim.
Coprolite. Bought this at a shop in Utah on our trip.
Deer antler. I had bought some of these little antler stumps to woodturn but figured I'd give one a shot on the grinder. It is certainly different.
