I decided to cab that malachite with the number 8 on it. I tried to keep that area flat to preserve the 8. At first all was well, but when I went to polish that area up part of the 8 disappeared, so I decided to cab it regular and am left with only a bulls eye pattern preform wet Shaped with the flat area just touched up a little with more needed Finished but no 8 I still plan on using a cotton wheel with ZAM to bring up the shine some more, but I need to change to a new wheel as the old one has bit the dust.

That happens with so many pictures. I've got a nice bat in Montana Agate but have been afraid to try and work it for fear of losing the image. You still have a gorgeous cab there though!....Mel

Beautiful cab! And the "8" is not all gone, it just went back inside like the answers in those mystery balls always do. Someday, when you least expect it that cab will give you another answer. It sure is telling all of us what real beauty is!

If you hadn't told me about the 8 I woulda missed it - but it does look amazing like that too! That malachite really rocks!

Thats always a bummer. I cabbed a piece of antelope jasper that had a perfect bird flying over some hills. By the time I was done, it looked like the bird had exploded.
That Malachite is still a beautiful cab!
