A few months ago I showed many of these cabs in their unfinished state. I've recently been fine tuning my arbor & can now get a good polish on them. With the help of spicerm (Mike) I've built a 10 wheel arbor. I can do it all on one machine. Most of these are from rocks I've found close to Cedar City, Utah where I live. I love being able to cut what I find. I cut a lot of 2-sided cabs especially from Indian Blanket Jasper because the pattern is so different from one side to the other. I can't decide which is the front of the cab. Enjoy! #1 Dendritic agate from west of Parowan, UT #2 Picasso Marble from near Minersville, UT #3 Mexican Crazy Lace agate from Josh. Thank you Josh! #4 Cosmo agate from near Yankee Reservoir, UT #5 Indian Blanket Jasper from near Enterprise, UT #6 Indian Blanket Jasper #7 Indian Blanket Jasper #8 Indian Blanket Jasper #8b Indian Blanket Jasper #9 Cosmo agate from Cedar City, UT #10 Cosmo agate #11 Cosmo agate

I see this as a successful marketing tool to get all rockhounds to Utah--the cabs are wonderful!

Those are all amazing! I just can't believe you have so much beautiful stone there! I dig up slate and shale around here... #1 is my favorite I think but it is tough to choose! I love #9 also. Reminds me of a pond with goldfish in it. The indian blanket is beautiful! There is not one bad cab there! Fran

You'll come home with at least 5 gallons of it. Even when the weather gets colder, the offer still stands. Lynn

The colours in the Indian Blanket jasper are outrageous. We will not make it to Utah this fall as planned but coming back in the spring again. Woody
