Hi all, got a couple more cabs done today. Koriot boulder opal  This is boulder opal also, but I'm not sure of it's origins. I bought this material from a local rock shop.  Fire agate  Rasberry garnet-sorry about the glare from the light  Thanks for looking. |

Great stuff Stoner. #2 does look like it's peeling right out of it's skin, and the Fire Agate has become one of my favs! Nice Job.

Wow. Just wow. LOVE that second boulder opal, and that fire agate! Okay, I bought some fire agate rough on ebay, and i have no clue on how to handle it. Any tips, since you do it so fantastically??

Thanks all, hard to miss with boulder opals and fire agates. Dee, the best thing to do with fire agates is to just start grinding slowly to se what you have in the way of fire. Once you see where the fire is, then you can start planning how to shape it. But you have to be careful not to grind too far or you'll lose the fire layer which is pretty thin.

Thanks Stoner! I was thinking I needed a dremel or something to do a cab. I bought some rough that I got today from ebay, and I can hardly make heads or tails of all those bubbles and lumps!
