I know, I'm bad. It's been forever since I posted. Sorry!!!!! My new job is kicking my but in a good way but internet now is really hard to maintain. I can handle the FB on my phone cuz I've got an app and it's easy to "like" something. The pro board app here is awesome but I can't type on my phone! I've done quite a few cabs but I'll post those later. This one I thought was super cool!!! It is Charoite with Quartz and Manganese inclusions. Check out the cool quartz heart on the lower left!! This is a thin cab with a very low dome. Love it though even though I wouldn't typically do a cab from a slab less than 1/4". This beauty was an exception!!!

Great cab, the color really pops and the composition is perfect.

Beautiful, Krystee! You need to make some time for yourself, for what you do best (and I mean best!!). Good to hear from you.

For some reason this cabochon made me think of a painting. The Screamer. I guess it's a more modern digital version of the same painting....... on Quaaludes. Welcome back Krystee! We miss you. I love charoite in all flavors.

That is a very nicely done cab! I bet it was tricky to work, I would assume you had to deal with variable hardness in the material. Well done!

Gorgeous cab and I know it was more of a challenge than you are letting on. The purple and black are so great in contrast and the heart is a cute little benny.
