It's a chili day here today, temps in the mid 60's and cloudy for most of the day. Good day to cut some cabs. First is my greenstone alien cab redo. After getting roughed up by the powers that be, he's in the alien protection program. Now he's keeping a bit more tight lipped than he was the other day. He's got a scar on his cheek, but he'll persevere. Then I cut a cab from some coral I got from Ted when I hounded with him. Lastly I cut a piece of the Black Hills agate I bought last weekend in Custer, SD. I also finished the moss cab from the other day & polished the back. For size comparison, here's the group with a dime. Thanks for looking, Nate

Thank you F&B, Don, and Ted. Donnie - I love the obsidian eye idea, but I'd need to dop them on toothpicks! Maybe next time lol. Ed - Yup, I'm one of the lazy overpaid union members Mel is always bitching about , so I got the day off with pay. Nate

Thanks guys! I forgot about Curt and his unknowns... Better keep the APP location a secret. ;D I love that Black Hills stuff too, but honestly I don't know for sure that's where it's from. It was in a bin labeled "Black Hills and other misc. agate", so it's anyone's guess. The lady working there didn't know either. The stone canyon piece I got was in the same bin, so who knows...
