My buddy at work gave me a polished amythest stone that he had gotten years ago. He saw my cabs and asked if I could cut his amythest like a cab so he could give it to his girlfriend for her birthday. I had a couple of silver settings and chose this one and cut the stone to fit. He didn't believe it was the same stone he had given me. I forgot to take a before pic.

Thanks everyone. The stone was around 5/8", not quite a cube, with rounded edges. It had been tumble polished. The final cab is a 12x10mm oval. The cab is glued onto the setting.

We all know the calibre of your work Ed, but the average Joes out there may not be expecting the level of quality craftmanship you put into your goods. You know, some guy's probably gonna get lucky now cuz you make such wicked nice cabs.
