No work today because of the lousy snowy weather. I didn't mind though....it gave me some cabbing time! Don't mind the tissue dust on these....I tried my best to take some decent pictures. Lemon Drop Yellow Laguna (I believe) Unknown agate...I'm sure it's a Mexican Agate variety Botswana. Drilled the hole than cabbed it. Couple Echostone sets.... Laker Echostones. 1st Laker set! I Love this One! The colors are unique and it ranks as one my Top Fav Echostones. Unknown...please help identify Thanks for looking. Although it was a no money day...it was a Fun Day! Steve

Great looking batch! Really like the lemon drop and the Bot! If I had to take a guess on the unknown, I'd say Moctazuma especially because some of them have those brown included areas and the wide pastel bands. Only a wild guess though as several areas have fortification agate in those tones......Mel

You certainly made good use of a 'no work' day. The cabs are all outstanding. I heard that we were supposed to have mild wet winter here in Pacific Northwest........so far it is both cold, and wet. Woody

Thanks Guys! Yep...SNOW!!!! And it's gotten cold as well. Crazy Weather. It's supposed to be in the 60's again next week though. The type of weather that makes you sick. Thanks Mel for the ID. If it's a guess; from you; ...I'm thinking it's 99.99999% right. Toad....Echostones is what I call my dome polished speciman and matching cabochon. I had a contest a while back and asking for help naming these sets....and this was the wining name. I think I'm up to probably close to 50 sets in my display case. Steve

Tony, If I could I would...trust me. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and realize winter is here and I have to deal with it for 4-5 months. Steve
