Agreed, it was a hard decision. Challenging, fun, and educational this month, as it should be.

I always feel bad when I vote, especially when some nice cabs have few (if any) votes. There are always a bunch of great entries and I wish I could vote for more than one!
Good work everyone!

realrockhound hummingbirdstones rockjunquie Thank you! It was a great learning experience. I would not have been making obsidian cabs if not for the contest so it’s definitely a good prompt to do something I wouldn’t normally do! I am also surprised. All of the entries are beautiful and well cut especially considering this can be such a tricky material to polish and photograph!👍

Well done khara. I like your cabbing technique. Flat dome, sharp girdle and great polish. That’s the definition of cabochon.

Thanks jasoninsd ! Hope you still have time to get some cabbing done and submit some entries. I’ve also just taken a new job, actually a side/night job, so my cabbing time will be getting cut into a bit! 😢
