I think a couple of these I already posted. But, they were in a different light. I just shot a bunch of pictures and have them all together, so your gonna see a few duplicates. Imperial jasper Morgan Hill Poppy Do you see the volcano spewing steam through the trees?? Turkish Stick agate Much better picture, I think, of this rosey Mary Ellen stone. Crazy Lace CONDOR agate Bolivian Sodalite- incredible color (no cracks) Nunderite Australia A KILLER dumortierite from Africa that I got as a gift with my RTH auction win from Bluesky78987 Susan. I know this looks fake, but this is what my camera saw and it's pretty damn close to the real thing. Sadly, there is a small crack that I stabilized, but I like it for me, anyway. Red jasper agate from WA Tiger Tail Mexico- this is the lighter variety of some that I got. I haven't preformed anymore, yet. Rainforest Jasper (rhyolite), also from Susan Bluesky78987 OK, my favorite. This is my first serraphinite. The slab was just about the most beautiful slab I had ever seen and it was cheap! So, I got it and waited for my new 220 nova to break in. To say this is soft is a severe understatement. It was cutting on the 1200 and undercut on the 50k. BUT, OMG what a cab! You have to see this in person. It is soooo chatoyant. The fan is awesome! Stefonite Descutes I don't know about y'all, but we are having some crazy warm weather here. I know it will get cold again, but damn I am enjoying this. 77 on Saturday!! Thanks for looking!

That's a very life-like rose in the Mary Ellen. Great variety and nice job.

Who cares about seeing duplicates when it's about your cabs? They're so beautiful! That Mery Ellen stone is in fact stromatolite, or at least that's what I think. Adrian

Beautiful cabs from top notch material. Your photography is fantastic too.
I love the volcano, what's the cab made from?

Beautiful, love your interpretation with the Dumorteirite. Sorry about the fracture, didn't realize that was there! (Oh and the rainforest was from somebody else I believe). That tigertail came out great too, and you've made me want to go cut my serephanite slab now!

I almost didn't cut my serraphinite slab. It was so pretty. Be forewarned... the stuff is muddy, slimy and ever so soft. It polishes beautifully, though. Be careful of a little undercutting.

Love the dumortierite, just stunning. Very nice set, Tela. Sounds like something Mom called me, must be a southern stone.
