I would say so, nice shine and flash. With Lab you have to make what ever shape you can, unless you have a large enough piece to orient a specific shape on. I am working on about four Lab-Cabs myself. Nice work!!...Tammy

Nice! Glad to see you got to play around with the lab. The hardest part to lab is cutting so the flash is oriented strait out. I try to cut it around noon on sunny days. That way when you hold it directly under you head, rotating it till you see the brightest flash, you cut exactly perpendicular to your line of site. That chariote looks really sweet!

If you like flash, then labradorite is the ticket! And hurry up and get cutting in that box. I see some cool stuff in there T

Nice work Greg. Funny how Lab looks so blah until the light hits it. Then BAM there's the flash! Man I love lab. That red obsidian is pretty cool too! Nice work. Be careful with that charoite too. It'll flake apart with little warning. I found out the hard way you need to start around 400 grit with a very light touch!

Hey Greg, Those are some fine cabbs there my friend. This is the 1st time I had the chance to see a cabb made of Laboradite. I love the blue flash. I bet the flash looks really great in the flesh LOL I also love the shapes that you used not the same old same old if you know what I mean. Boy you must have one hell of a good friend to give you such a fine gift. I can't wait to see some cabbs made from that Charoit. That stuff is nice. I will PM you about getting together Stu

Greg, that Lab is beautiful. It's one of my favorite stones and you did a great job on that pretty red obsidian.
