Brought my flat lap inside to do some cabbing while watching the Super Bowl. Picked out a couple of stones that would be a fit for today!!! First is the winner..... Ravens. Purple and black. Charoite: Next.... 49'ers. Red and gold. Mooakite: GREAT game! Even though I didn't win Condor's jerky

cool idea doing super bowl themed cabs! I was rooting for SF but I still like your Charoite cab the best.

Those are beautiful. What a great shine on both of them. I think the charoite is the best though.

Thank you everyone!!! Beauties!! Did you do those during the blackout T LOL! That was something else wasn't it?!?!?! It worked in the 49'ers favour though and gave them time to regroup and make an exciting 2nd half!

Krystee, beautiful, as always! It's enough to make me empty the piggy bank for charoite.

Krystee those are great! I must confess to favoring the first...but love the translucence in the second. Not much on football but can definitely see the team colors going on. Wonderful work!!! :-)

T Heck yeah! Curt's aliens are the best, ROFL! ;D Thanks again everyone for your nice comments. I really like the Charoite. Tricky tricky stone to work though. The first preform I started sent crumbling mini chunks all over the place every time I slightly touched the 220. FRUSTRATING!!! I gave up on that piece and started another that held up perfectly with no chipping at all!!! Difference in cutting direction maybe? I have no clue but was very happy with my 2nd attempt. It's one of those stones though that you can't use any pressure at all with. It started to "orange peel texture" on me and I had to go back to the 325 to fix it and then use a feather touch. Took me three times as long to finish that one versus the Mookaite. I have four more Charoite preforms but will hold off until I have a day with lots of patience Always up for a challenge and a new material though!
