Sorry I'm still not sure how to do the thumbnails yet - sorry to those on dialup Well after looking at Stoner's awesome boulder opal cab I feel kinda insignificant now in material & in skill, but I've already downloaded the pictures, so I might as well post them... Here is a piece of moss agate that I got in a $2 bag of slabbettes at the club Here is the same back lit a bit - note the brown stuff in the fine cracks Here is some sort of agate - it kinda has a butterfly in there Some porcelain jasper that is more pink not brownish like the pic - face in there too A piece of rainbow jasper OOPS obsidian that got the green only - kinda shiny dragon blood green - this one looks kinda dusty actually some agate - I don,t think it's rooster tail - but that's what I was told it was - Stoner had one similar but under another name - this one will be for my daughter for helping me flat lap the backs Everyone must recognize this stuff - it,s Randy's green zebras - thanks again Randy Finally, a piece of chert - this one isn't done I have to finish it as it still has scratches all over, it needs to move up to 200 grit Thanks for looking

Nice looking cabs there Tweet! I think the 2nd unknown Agate is probably Montana Agate..it sort of looks like it. I think you've done a great job on those. Thanks fro sharing them with us, and keep up the great work. Steve

What are you talking about Tweetie, those cabs are great. The second agate is Montana and the piece you call roostertail looks like it may be just that. I like the shapes and you got a terrific shine on all of them. It's nice to see your work. I wish more people would show their cabs here in this forum. One question though, what the hell is that green goo your cabs are sitting on? Yuk!!!

Very nice Tweet and not even too awfully bad at downloading. ;D You've gotten really good at making cabs, I really like that one agate (6th pic down). Awesome colors in there.

Stoner that green goo is slime - not sure if that is the farting kind as there was a small amount left in the pot - I couldn't find my white sticky stuff - the green stuff seemed to work. - can I say it's liquified jade? ;D
The moss agate needs to go back to the diamond wheel as I rushed that one and checked it wet and missed spots - but from the pic you can't tell hehe
