I'd thought I'd document the progress of 4 double sided Indian Blanket jasper cabs I made from back to back slabs. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the chunk before I slabbed it. Thanks for looking. Lynn Four preforms from 2 sister slabs. Reverse side. Right one is cut flat on one side only. Separated & oriented Ground to basic shape Finished cabs Positions, Please! The other side

Tommy, I run a waxed cotton cord through the hole & a bead. One cab sold before I had a chance to take a picture with the cord. Lynn

great set of cabs and I like the the way the cord and bead look on them. Is the cord tied at the ends or do you put a clasp on? Any chance of getting a picture of the clasp or knot you used?

that's cool jasper. Where do I buy some? Nice cabs. 6-8 years ago you could go down to any landscape supply in so. utah and load up a bucket full for 3 bucks. nowadays the good stuff is long since gone and crushed up. maybe you can sweet talk lynn out of some of his stash? LOL

What Don said. The good stuff is no longer coming out of the quarry. I've got a neighbor down the street that has it in his yard as landscape rock. I asked if I could go through it & look for pieces that are jewelry worthy. H>e said it was OK. I'll make him something nice. Lynn

Tela, You WILL get out to Quartzite to buy rough. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Lynn
