Here are some cabs I worked on this week.

Some green stuff I got from BearCreek, its not moss but other than that, I have no idea - anyone know?

Some red and white stuff, kinda pitted, mohs of about 5-6 - anyone know?

Morrisonite - cab is smooth but internal cracks make it look rough - maybe that's why I got it so cheap??

Next two are royal imperial jasper (poor picks) - this is amazing stuff with cool patterns and takes a great shine

A pair of crazy lace cabs

thanks for looking,
robert

Not sure what they all are, but I like the shapes. You need to make a third one for the lace so you'll have a earring/necklace set.

Yup, Alunite for sure. NOt sure on the frist one. It looks very black to me. try a photo on a black background when they are dark. It will help bring out color.

That Morrisonite to me, looks to be Carrisite. Which is often confues as Morrisonite. Mainly becasue of the color. The fractures happen more so in Carrisite too from my experince.
