I thought the title was catchy! LOL Vistaite Carasite Morrisonite So here's some more material I got from realrockhound ! Thanks again my friend!!  I know there are some funky shapes in this batch. It wasn't all by my choice. I had drawn out some shapes...started to cut them out, and the rock decided there was a fracture or a pit which I had to deal with...which changed my plans...sometimes by quite a bit! LOL As always, thanks for taking a gander! Vistaite Cabochon  Carasite Cabochon - I took 20 pictures of that first one with the point downward like I want to wrap it...but none would turn out. So, I took a picture with it "upside down"! LOL   Morrisonite Cabochon - The second one was suppose to be a different shape...but the preform broke.    |

I have to say that I like the Carasite cabs best. But all are great! I am curious if you keep a list of all the different materials you have made into cabs?

Awesome batch of cabs but then again should we expect any less of your master cabbing skills? I think not!

When I first started, I began an Excel spreadsheet. I quickly learned I couldn't keep up with it! LOL - Most everything is tucked away in the ol' noggin'...which isn't a really reliable source all the time! LOL Awesome batch of cabs but then again should we expect any less of your master cabbing skills? I think not! Thank you Diane! I should show a picture of the "rejects" pile...that still hasn't stopped growing! LOL |

Another set of beauties Jason. Thank you my friend! I've got some other interesting pieces on dop...now I just need to find the energy to get them done! (Isn't it sad I have to "find" energy to sit on my rump and grind some rocks? LOL) |

They all look awesome, but man the shape of that 3rd one down is "on point"! It is elegant, yet has that "primitive" vibe.

It always reminds me of a shark's tooth...or a bear's claw. (*And I don't mean this kind of bear claw! LOL)  |

If that's a thing.
That one is far away my favorite as well.

I like the G.I. Joe reference! I just watched that movie again not that long ago! LOL Thank you so much! I can't decide between that last Morrisonite and the Desert Eagle as to which one is my favorite out of this group! |

As usual stunning cabs! Taking advantage of some amazing material with your pattern choices and precision grinding. The Carasite looks amazing but I really like the shape of the last one.

Thank you my friend! I don't do a lot of shapes like that last one...but I think I might add it to my "usuals" arsenal! LOL |

Ha ha! You thought this got past me! Well, it didn't. I love them all- very rich colors. I think the second (carrasite) is my favorite. Always pushing the envelope with shapes. |
