Hey Guys, here are 5 cabs from this weekend cutting i wanted to share. in another thread it was brought up, theres an American Pietersite. Well from my knowledge its know now as Bronzite and comes from Wyoming, very rare stuff, and not as chatoyant, but very intense colorations. Here are two examples.
heres a super fine set of BC jade. Snowdog and i traded for some and man, what a color!
Here is a designer cab of Royal Imperial Jasper, man i love this stuff and haven't worked it in a bit. Was reminded from a recent thread on this board to work some.
And last is a fun thing, new to me as well. I call it the Statepuff. Its is a synthetic Alexandrite, which has a color shift under certain lighting. But a real nice purple color. Its faceting grade rough, super clear stuff. So i carved a simple design into the back of the cab.
The links goto a new gallery and shows a small thumb. Click on it if its small to pull up the large one. Enjoy~
