Hey all. I cut 7 new cabs today and none of them were Koroits. I went through one of my boxes of slabs and picked out these stones just for a change of pace. I also grabbed 2 pieces of opalized wood as I was recharging the barrel and shaped them into cabs.

The first 2 are opalized wood
35x12mm

20x12mm

Unknown agate 40x20mm

These next 2 are from the same slab of unknown agate
34x20mm

40x25mm

A piece of picture jasper
33x18mm

And a piece of obsidian. In this first pic, you see an oval and inside the oval you see a lighter, smaller oval. I tilted the cab so it caught the light just right to highlight the inner oval in the second pic. It looks really cool in person and is difficult to capture in photos.

40x30mm

tilted

That is not a reflection of the light, that is inside the piece of obsidian that you are looking at.

Thanks for looking.
