Hope to be making some pendants in the near future - ordered some stuff and some tools. ANyway, here are the cabs. w/o flash:  w/ flash:  thanks for looking robert |

Wow Robert, awesome display. The picture jaspers in the bottom row are spectacular. The second one from the left would make a great "Name this Cab" stone. As far as shapes go, I think I like the triangle with the shapely hips the best. Excellent job on all of them.
What are you using to polish them?

Robert,
You've done so many great stones! I noticed in an earlier post that you use a pixie and was wondering if you've had to get new wheels yet?

Stoner, I use 14,000 diamond paste which seems to work pretty well.
Page, I got my pixie about 3 months ago or so, the wheels are not even close to being used - hoping they last at least a year for the solid ones.

You can expect well over a years worth on those wheels Robert. I've got about 16months of hard use on my 100g hard wheel and 280g Nova wheel. And there's a lot of life left.

WoW Robert, how could you keep those hidden from us. You are getting really good!! Love them but that one oval, 2nd from bottom, 2nd in, like ivory with pink is really something. You really centered that nicely.

Ah Cher, you have a good eye, that's willow creek pic jasper and I'm planning on making a pendant out of that one (my first) for me wife. Although I thought you were going to pic out the laker (top row in the middle - lots of quartz but pretty neat.
turnedstone, the 1st one 2nd from the bottom is sunset jasper from south africa.
