The Jasper cab is simply killer! The rest are absolutely phenomenal!!!

I'm not going to describe the things I see in that stuff or they'll come and put me away LOL!

How is Pietersite to work with? I'm sure it's very pricey, but man.. there's nothing like it!

Superb!!!!

Wow, those Pietersite cabs are really awesome all right! Each unique in it's own way so I can't even pic a favorite.The first cab looks like Indian Fancy Jasper/Bloodstone. I have several similar slabs with the orbs etc in my collection......mel

These irregular forms are very nice, and the polish is miror-like. Is the jasper "ocean-lasper"? The second pietersite is my favorite. Adrian

Thanks everyone. I think I do see your name on the bananna Susan! Beef, this stuff is basically tigereye and works about the same. It's fun to watch the colors emerge and dance around as I'm working the stone and there really is nothing like it. Adrian, glad you made it to the cab section. The jasper is as Mel said, a fancy jasper from India. I thought about it after you said that Mel and it does looke like the stuff I got from Stoneage Ind. Oh, and I've only got 10lbs to go Rich, I split this stuff with somebody.

Well ed I've been here looking at your Pietersite for a couple of days now. Couldn't put into words how I felt about them and still can't really but they are some of the coolest looking cabs I've ever seen. Reminds me of something man made, maybe colored glass with lots of swirls. Very nice job, can't wait to give that material a try.
