Greg, that looks awesome! Goes great in that setting too. I think that ghost is showing up because of the KILLER shine! (hehe) Like your cabbing corner too!

Wow, you have a great cabbing corner! That must have something to do with the quality of the cabs you are producing. Spooky Ghost and all that is a beautiful cab.

That ghost is freaky, I saw it when I went back to look at the gorgeous cab again.

It is just a rock spirit. I have found several of those and it does make you feel freaky! At least it is showing off its beauty now! Great set up there Greg! Fran

Thats a great cab. Nice shine, no flat spots, great shape. I think you're a natural born cabber. Pat

That's a really good looking dome. High domes can be tough, you made it look easy. Great shine too.

Very nice Roller! Great little set-up as well. I've been cabbing for a while and I've never actually done a calibrated cab to fit into a finding. You done GREAT! Steve

Very nice choice of settings. The patina of the setting and the stone match beautifully. WTG

I like that cab in the setting. I was gonna look for a setting for my first cab too, I don't know if I will be able to keep the diameter when I rework it. I like calibrated cabs just as much as free form. Nice thing about free form is they can be wire wrapped. Very nice, keep it up.

Just want to let everyone know what a great guy Greg is. I was outside picnic table cabbing and the guy at the campground rolled up on his golf cart with a small package for me. It was this very same pendant from Greg, thanking me for taking him hounding for the blue quartz. I was so tickled! I felt like a soldier getting a package from home! This piece is even more gorgeous in person and Greg really nailed the shape for the setting. Greg, I'm so proud of you and your expertise. Thank you so much for doing this! Jo
