I have done some rock work previously but what I show below are my FIRST cabochons. I know the stones have flaws but I did not want to use my best stuff to learn. Regardless, since these are my first I thought I would show them (you only have a first time once!). You may notice that some of these are grooved, preparing for my FIRST wire wrapping. agate 1agate 2mozarkiteagate 3

That first cab has nice cream and smoky color and blends splendidly. The second has gray blue, white and smoky motif, very different and attractive. The final agate is like a soft sherbet ice cream, awesome.
