All of these were pulled out of a garage sale bucket. No ID's. All I can really say is that they are agates and jaspers ;D, except for the Montana, that one I know without a doubt! All free-forms that I played with because they were too pretty to tumble: back-lit: This one has a tiny scratch on the back that I am kicking myself for not grinding out back-lit: back-lit: Thanks for checking them out! ~Krystee

You do such a beautiful job on the shine, just like glass.

Truly eye catching.
Around here, it's all baby clothes at the garage sales -- that, and stuff that must have fallen off the truck, because they want close to the full retail price and it's still in packaging!

Love the stones and that shine you got is fantastic! I am pretty sure your second one is a dark amethyst sage agate. I love that stuff! Great job on them all Krystee! Fran

I like them all, especially the banded carnelian with the spider webbing (3rd one) I think the first is probably Rocky Butte jasper from Oregon.

Thanks everyone for your kind compliments and ID's!!!
Randy, I am doing all of my cabs now with an 8" Ameritool that I bought from John at JSGems. I love it, especially because I can easily take it outside to cab in the sunshine!

Krystee, you have a great touch when cabbing. Those are all fantastic. Now that I can cut some I need to get the Ameritool next. I believe that is what you are using. Please let me know as I would love to be able to come close to what you are doing. Awesome!
