Had a little time to cab, I think I'm getting a better polish now. Paul Bunyan Agate, Dendritic Chrysocolla, unknown from Tela, Laguna Lace(?), Fairburn Agate. Thanks for looking...  |

Mexican Laguna Lace and Mexican Crazy Lace are so close of cousins, they couldn't get married legally.  Super nice to see you pumping these cabs out...and still having time for family, work, and sleeping...as opposed to having to make a choice when you were using the Dremel!  |

The dendritic one is scenic, ready for spring theme cab contest.
The laguna agate one is so eye catching.
The whole batch is a very pleasing color and style combination.

You're certainly having a good time.  These are all very nice. I think I like the chrysocolla best. |

I wanna say Chinese Writing Stone, but that may not be it. I didn't see writing on the slab... English, I mean, not Chinese. 🤣 I'll take a look again tonight, maybe I missed it. |

I wanna say Chinese Writing Stone, but that may not be it. Missed this post before. The "Chinese Writing" isn't always legible.
Old lapidary instructor friend or ours told us his mother said some of it "looks like a pile of old cigarette butts".
The prettiest variety of this type material is called Chrysanthemum Stone. Flower Stone is a common name for some from British Columbia.
Not the easiest material to get a good polish on. Especially the more green varieties. Some of that used to come from California.

Great looking cabs miket . Every batch is looking better. Thanks Brent, I appreciate the compliment. One of these days I'll get back to taking better pictures. I wanna say Chinese Writing Stone, but that may not be it. Missed this post before. The "Chinese Writing" isn't always legible.

🤣 I couldn't get a great polish on it but it is cool material. |
