I started this piece at the same time I started my Paiutte. I finally finished it! This is some of the NV material I brought home from Michael Hoover's. Nice stuff!!! I liked the little blue heart in this piece, looked to me like someone dipped a paint brush in red and yellow paint and painted a scewed frame around it! Here is the slab: And the cab (pictures taken outside): Thanks for taking some of your time to look at some of mine!!! ~Krystee

I LOVE the shape of the Gabbro! They are all spectacular and my fave is probably the doublet as well!!!

I pulled out my silver cab that I still have.... I can't video it correctly under shop lights. Looks good but not as good as it really is. I will video tomorrow under the daylight outside and show you the flash. It's striking but I can't capture it in a dark garage 100%, even with a daylight bulb....

Depends.... the best cutters can cut a piece of ob that flashes from almost all angles. That's my goal as ob is my favorite material. As of right now though, I'm a better cabber than a slabber Silver or Gold should ALWAYS flash though. If it's not flashing it was either cut poorly or is a different type of ob... I didn't find anything else extraordinary in my album for silver sheen. You should be able to find it banded though just like gold. I personally don't think I have any that was cut in the right direction to show sheen banding. I do want to share this gold banded one with you though... Brian (Beefjello) gave the slab to me as a present to cab. I think it's my most favorite ob cab I have ever done! Hope you enjoy and HOPE you find this in silver (I'll faint when you do and then I'll harass you every day until you send me the scraps of it ;D)

Ok, here is a silver tumbled ob. I'll add to this post if I find more. Same exact stone but if you look to the left of this picture of tumbles, you will see how the silver sheen stands out like a "LOOK AT ME" stone! Silver cab:

Susan,
Give me a few.... I "think", not positive though.... but I might have some nice silver in my Photobucket album. It will take me a bit to go through it cuz I don't have it in categories... it's around 30 pages long. I'll look though and see if I can find an example!

I'm a little confused....
If you have a piece of silver sheen obsidian that is showing silver from every possible angle.... then that means the cutter is phenomenal! And yet, you say, that every silver piece you have seen is all directional silver? I'm baffled. I've cut silver sheen before and been SOL. To my knowledge, silver sheen is just like gold sheen except that gold sheen can sometimes contain the rare "fire" if you're lucky. I've never been that lucky but I'm always hoping and have many pounds to slab one of these days, gosh that would be a dream come true....

I see beautiful cabs but.... DON'T CUT IT!!! I don't see any fractures. Aside from the saw line on the back side, which doesn't matter, are there any imperfections in the actual stone that we can't see from pictures?
It's beautiful and well worth you taking it out from time to time to enjoy. I would be fainting time to time when I pulled it out, no joking!

Nice cabs Donnie!!!
Also love your frosted glass background. I've been on the lookout for something that I can use that's frosted glass. Stoner once told me that frosted glass produces the most accurate real colors of any background and that's all he will use for selling cabs online.
