I don’t know a thing about cabs, but I do know pretty, and those sure are! Is there iridescence in the material? The movement is fantastic. My fav is #2 also. Lightening storm is the perfect description! Great job!

Thanks MP!

It has Tiger Eye in the material, so it does have a chatoyant effect.

When I put a jar full of rocks at work for people to help themselves, the Tiger Eye was the first to go!! LOL

I really like #3 the most. That one is very sharp, the blues and golds. In a very close second I pick #4. the colors and the pattern is striking as is the shape. TFS.

Thank you SO much!

That 4th one was a total reshape. An unforeseen fracture showed up, so I had to round off the entire top. That one does have the best chatoyant areas of all the four cabs though!
