Howdy, Here are a few more small freeform cabs in the 25-35 mm range. I prefer cutting fortification agates freeform so as not to lose the neat patterns. I apologize for all the reflections. Light is not too good this afternoon. In the first pic the four cabs around the outside are Moctazuma Agate from Chihuahua, Mexico and the centerpiece is a Condor Agate from Argentina. The camera didn't like the combination of light and dark agates so the condors colors were too dark in the first pic. The individual shot is more true to color. Thanks for looking.....mel   |

I can see why you like to do the forts freeform... you just have to go with it. Those are fantastic Mel... I like how the one in the lower left looks like the bands are flowing off of the stone.. and the clown above it... lol ..there's one in every crowd.. hehe

Great cabs Mel. The shapes look nice following the lines of the banding. No poppy jasper?
