Very cool. I like the natural edges on the agates in the second picture.

They look great! Did you do these all at once? That's a bunch. Loving that polka dot agate. Yes, it qualifies as a thoughtful gift. It was made by you.

I've been making them on a flat lap and it seems a lot more efficient to do them in batches. Even though I use a hook/loop backing on my grinding discs, it would still eat up a lot of time to swap discs multiple times for every cab. I'm liking the polka dot agate to, it seems to take a polish fairly easy and it looks great. Some of it is very hard, though. The triangular white piece in the third picture with the single dot in the center came from a chunk I got from the Polka Dot Agate mine last year, and it easily takes twice as long to cut through it with my rock saw as normal agate.

The polka dot stands out, in a really beautiful set.
Peace, Rich

That particular polka dot cab is a complete win! Well done all around.
