ocean jasper

vogesite

blue tigerseye (one of these days i'm going to show some chatoyancy when i learn to cut these right)

swazi bloodstone

koi jasper

flame agate from stoner

ocean jasper

developed a fracture that you can see in the center. what you can't see is it goes over to the side and around back too. destined never to be a pendant

tiny little koi - plan to use for a ring (sorry for the washed out look on the quartz)

sure did hate to stop but i have it in my mind to wrap this cab i won from jamie and it is not leaving my mind until i get it accomplished.

I like the first OJ, the one from Jamie, and the flame agate the best, but they're all great looking cabs..

Beautiful stuff - that darn hawk eye is a bugger to photograph - the slabs show mega light play & then the pictures blah! - great job on all of them - the swazi is stunning as are all the others - (I'm wonderful for making decisions... aren't I?)
