i'm a bit rusty 
and my picture taking skills have certainly not improved, and somehow the sun went down, too.
but! here are some cabs i started on today, some need a bit of touch up and the backs all need to be polished, first up a freeform cab, which i don't do much, but i figured "back to basics, girlie":
here is a piece of rhondonite that i got from Snowdog, this is a 14mm x 10mm oval, looks kinda oriental to me, like bamboo or something:
here is another 14mm x 10mm of some Breccia that Kim sent me a long while back, i think this was the first load from Africa? the colors are so much better, i may try to get a shot if the sun ever comes back out:
here is a "gemmy" 25mm x 18mm piece of Charoite"
and, c'mon folks, this whole "diamonds for Christmas" stuff is totally overrated, show your loved one how you feel with a little chunk of dino poo in their stocking:
some Picasso Marble, needs a little work here:
and a nice little 25mm x 18mm seraphinite oval, i just love this stuff, it's SO soft but takes such a nice shine, needs a little edge alignment:
and last but not least, and of course i can't capture the effect, but here is a 18mm x 13mm very thin piece of Iris Agate that i got from Bearcreek:
thanks for looking!!
