More medicine bow. Sometimes the black plume does that. I have eagle rock that does the same. It’s like it never fully solidifies

realrockhound - I wanted to guess medicine bow, but when i couldn't see through it I got confused. So is this still considered an agate then?

Since I mostly cab, I used to cringe when I got a slab like this...with all the micro-druzy pockets. Now, I love when I cut a slab and get pockets like this has...they become the central focus of the cab...

OMG this makes me laugh at myself. Husband is new to cabbing, about 6 months now. When he first started out, he came to me with these cabs he had finished, "Look, what do you think?" My dumba$$ literally said to him, "Why are they all broken?"

Now you did it. He saw this post and handed me a box of cabs he wants to show. He's been trying to get me to do it, I always tell him to join and post them himself! Not that I don't think they are lovely, i just want him to be the receiver of the praise himself. Expect a display of his work asap. Now that I have a box of them in my face and a husband with expectations. Photo shoot time!

Ugh, I am so jealous! About the most interest/response I get out of my husband is “it’s a rock” lol. He DID encourage me to start buying more rock books, but kinda does an exasperated sigh and slight eye roll when I try to show him something 😒

But, he can name many rocks now, just because I show him everything I cab. I think he actually pays attention. LOL!

rockjunquie - I created a one time only cab post for him, he's on his own after that! Let's see if this gets him to join... cabby - Him showing me started with me saying, "yeah its a rock" at first. I was dragged into this hobby...now I'm more into it than he is LOL So the moral of the story is, ALWAYS pester your spouse repeatedly and thoroughly until you get the desired reaction. Always. LOL We've been together a looong time - he knows me. He knew that the best way was to ask me to ID specimens. It didn't hurt that he threw in, "but you're better at this than I am," comment too. A little praise and a mystery to solve? Ok! When I would get one, he would hand me another. He would place them on my laptop, in front of the tv, and on me while I was in bed. He was properly annoying I found myself complimenting the cabs in my own thread and liking my posts, now I feel like a proper maniac!

tribeunited we’ve been together since high school. 25 years? 26? Something like that. Pestering doesn’t work! He DOES help with moving boxes of rocks around, which I am extremely grateful for. But absolutely zero desire to learn about rocks or lapidary, unfortunately.

My husband doesn't even help with moving the boxes. The only destination he wanted to move these boxes to is the front yard, with big marks "FOR FREE".
