Back to cabbing again! Yay! nundorite This is what was mentioned by @rocks2dust as possibly being what MsAli cabbed. It's pretty rare stuff. Beautiful, big Sonora Sunrise- really great polish and vivid colors- even some hematite in the tenorite mushroom rhyolite bone- I thought this would look better than it does. Old school oj- This is one of my very first preforms. I don't know what I was thinking about this shape! The one you see is modified from the original which was even worse. BUT, the oj looks pretty sweet to me. My fav for the day- Brazilian Fluorite. This is so much nicer in person! It came out really nice. I think holding my breath helped. LOL! This material never photographs right. In person it looks much more like the chrysocolla and dendrites that it is. Most of it pretty much crumbles, but I have gotten some decent cabs from the few slabs I had.

The colors on the sonora are killer. The fluorite is spectacular too. Nice set of cab photos.

I Love the OJ shape!! It looks like a shield. I think after you wrap it it’ll talk to you more! My FAVE would be the Fluorite in the shield shape 😂

Tela, those are all really great! But I especially like the nundorite, have never seen it before. Liking those colors, always like something new (or rare).
How does it cab up? Is it hard?

That fluorite looks sweet, but hard to get a photo of.

Great set! I like the shape you did on the mushroom, echoing the mushroom markings. The fluorite is my fave though - no crazing (or whatever you call it) at all! You have the touch!

Wow! I have a slab of the nunderite. We just put it in our box of dots rocks! Thanks for the education!

Love the sonora. Also the shape of the OJ. Seems very masculine to me.

The Sonora sunrise is great, but I agree, the Fluorite steals the show!

I think that’s the best mushroom jasper I’ve ever seen.
Peace, Rich
