sands is whipping out cabs left and right! i am amazed at how fast he can get a cab done. his pic is not doing justice to the beauty of his work. that chrysocolla cab in the middle bottom row is a knock out.

They all look great. WTG, both of you... Is that a rhodonite cab in the top row? I really like the darker rhodonite. Where can I buy some of the darker stuff?

Most excellent job both of you - I too love the bottom row middle chrysocolla and of course the purple ones!

Great looking cabs! I like the mex lace agate one most, and the shapes really accent the type of dome you used on those! Very nice looking! Those earings look great too. Go Kim! You guys are really cranking things out. Steve

Good looking stuff from both of ya, but I'm curious...do women actually wear big earrings like that? I have tiny lobes and those look like they would rip my ear off...

earth i got that piece from a big lot of small slabs from rhodes but i have got some nice dark stuff from stoneageindustries.com but make sure you ask for the black and pink because they have some thats just plain pale pink not much to look at--- your best bet is to ask for faced pieces this way you can see the mang in it
tweet that chryscolla surprized the sh-t outta me it has great blue color and it's on the hard side so it grinds well --- and the purple is tiffany stone --- really pretty

Way Cool, John - I'm rather fond of the little mossy green one, bottom row left. BUT WAIT - let me look at the rest of them. I wish I could be there to see them in person! S Kim - When I first looked at your earring photos I saw the first and second rows as ONE BIG EARRING. I thought, "OMG, those are HUGE". Then I realized it was two earrings. I'm especially fond of Bali beads. They're beautiful. And, oh yeah - I second the motion - want to see some rockyraccoon cabs, too! Show John how it's done (hahaha) Susan

Great work! Seeing all the cabs and pendants and other stuff that are being posted makes me want to get busy. Luckily I have some vacation time coming up week after next. Maybe I will get to do some cutting, grinding and polishing!
