Well I had a good day of cabbing, actually some of yesterday and some of today, but I managed to get back to my quota. So here they are. 9, count them, 9. Woohoo!  Picasso Marble 30x22mm  Not sure, but I think this may be Ruby in Zoisite. This one looks much nicer in person. There are a lot green sparkles in this piece that catch the light as you turn it. 30x22mm  Unknown agate 45x15mm  Unknown agate 38x25mm  Polka Dot agate 30x22mm  Moss agate 30x22mm  Another Moss agate 28x25mm  Possibly a Fairburn agate 30x22mm  Not sure about this one either, but it may be Larimar? 38x25mm  It sure did feel good sitting down and cutting more than just a few cabs. I'll be off work the next 2 days so maybe I'll be able to do this again. Thanks for looking. |

Nicely done, Ed. Those look completely flawless, even though each dimension is magnfied about 3 times bigger than life size on my computer screen.

y'all are killing me with these polka dot agates! they are so cool.
it looks like snow in the bottom of that fairburn one with a stick trapped inside.
this is like a game of chess - robert your move!

nice work Ed, isnt that picasso fun and such a breeze to work?
I think that ruby in zosite is acutally garnet in Spinel, but i could be wrong. The one after that looks to be Tachoma jasper(sp?). Nice pokadot! That last one, how hard was it? Looks like it could be a fine Chrysocolla Silica, maybe even a gem silica if its like agate. If it softer than agate, i would say the frist.

Thanks everyone, yea I did have some fun on those and I've started working on some more so Hopefully in a few days I'll at least this many again. Thanks for the ID Shain, I'll go with gem silica because except for one soft spot, it was pretty hard.

It's great to see a large posting of Ed-cabs! Not like wIdon't appreciate the smaller batches, but I love those big eye poppin mega batches. I like the ununusual rocks, like the Ruby n Ziosite (or whatever it is), the unknownite and that last one. The polka-dot and picasso are cool too.
