All gorgeous, but I keep coming back to the rhyolite and especially that first Tiffany!

Awesome group of cabs! Would be tough to pick a favorite but if my arm were twisted to do so then it would be one of the ones shown in the first four photos. And if I was being pistol whipped to choose I'd probably lose consciousness trying to decide between the Drendritic Limestone and the Rhyolite. Larry C.

amazing how you hit it out of the park everytime you're up to bat. I like all of them.

That sounds too dangerous! LOL!

Lovely, beautiful as always! Last one = tiger tail? I wondered that, too. Have you seen any brecciated tiger tail? I have some tiger tail and this doesn't quite hit the mark- almost. It took a shine better than any of the other cabs, though.

It took a shine better than any of the other cabs, though. Your last one kind of reminded me of this one. I'm going through some photos of old tumbles to see what I could find for comparison. Do you have a photo of the rough? IMG_0200

IMG_0200 Yeah, it does look a lot like that. It was the hematite pyrite (?) that was throwing me, but I see there is some in Lavic, too. I don't have a picture of the rough. I'm really bad about keeping things straight. I always figure I'll remember- yeah, right! I have your box in tact, though. Next chance I get, I'll go through and see if there is more in there. I knew that what I pulled out looked like this or the other one or both.

Hard to pick favorites. They are all stunners. The rhodochrosite, gembone, Tiffany and Dryhead stand out. Dendrites, too, but that cab had already been drooled on, so I thought I'd bring up some fresh ones.

All beautiful! My pick would be the rhyolite - as someone else mentioned, it really does look like fireworks.

The top is left rough and flat. It has a little texture. The sides polish up very easily.

Damn, that's an incredible set of cabs Tela!
I've found myself both fixated and mesmerized by your Dryhead cab. It's like the Eye of Sauron calling out for the lost ring.
