I swear it's been over a year since I cabbed. But to sooth myself for not going to Snyder's Ranch, I went through my stash and did these over the Labor day weekend! I think this came from a slab from a geode Mexican crazy lace Ocho some kind of Lapis I don't know! But I love the color Chrysocolla in quartz with more Ocean jasper and a couple of chrysocolla in quartz I tried my first drusy too, but I'm posting it in the wire wrapped thread, because I don't have any picture of just the cab. I was drenched afterwards, lol. Nice thing to do on these 95+ degree days!

Can't pick a favorite, and you'd never know that you haven't cabbed in awhile! You haven't lost the touch! Nice to see your work again.

Yay Dee!! It's been a long time, but you haven't missed a beat! The geode agate and OJ are my favs, and both the chrysocollas are rockin' some intense colors! the purple agate might be Royal Aztec or something similar from Mexico.
Beautiful set, good to see you cabbing again! ;D

Thanks all! I was soaking wet and never happier. I may not have been cabbing, but fortunately, that didn't mean I stopped buying rocks now and then~ I still had a couple of 5 gallon buckets still in buckets from Arizona at Burro Creek so many years ago!
