Hey all. It finally warmed up enough to sit and do some cabbing. Seems Mel and I are working the same material these days.

Dendritic Opal

Another fire agate, a couple of different angles

These next ones are the new Poppy Jaspers

Cal stopped by last week and gave me a slab of Agua Nueva Agate and a very cool slab of Bruneau Jasper.

And a Carey Mt Plume agate.

Thanks for looking.

Got my fingers crossed, Ed, that you and Mel just kick-started another for Bruneau. Rich

But I have a feeling we're not quite done with the boulder opal craze yet.

I call it "Cosmos under glass" ... oops, sorry, thought this was a name that cab contest. ;D -Don
