Hello everyone! Today I finished a cab which I made from a fire agate piece sent me by Christopher - christopherl. I thought such a piece deserves a special cab, so I included it into a cab which I plan to use for a special pendant. This is going to be the present for my daughter Ioana, as she is turning 18 in a few days. So, I cut the stone as big as the fire allowed (and, as you see, it is BIG for a fire agate) and then I framed it with palm pet wood (one of Ioana's favorite materials). Here are a couple of pics of the progress: And then, the finished cab: When I was embedding another fire agate in that knife's handle, she kinda told me she would had preffered that stone in a pendant for her. I told her I have another one for this purpose - and here it is. Hopefully she will enjoy this one, too Thank you very much again Christopher for this gorgeous stone, and thank you all for looking. Adrian

Thats absolutely stunning. Adore your design. Never thought of FireAgate as something to be framed in a geometric shape. You seem to be able to bend every material to your will. LOL
Great!

That is one of the most beautiful cabs I have seen, what a perfect blend. What a great dad, to create such an heirloom.

How beautiful! I'm sure she will always treasure it! It's like looking into creation with the forms in the agate, depth of it and colors. You did an incredible job with it, Adrian! I love seeing your work. Thanks for showing us!
