Here's a few cabs I've done over the years. I'm more into tumbling, but every now and then I do cabs. Anyone know what this is?  This is not the same as the above. It is a different rock however.  Not sure about this one either.  This is green moss agate.  Condor |

Well it's about time you posted some of your cabs. Let me tell you all a little backround about the "Secret Closet Cabber". While we were at the ranch, Gil tells me he has an old Highland Park grinder, actually 2 of them, and after seeing my cabs, he decides he may want to start cabbing again. But he wants me to take a look at his setup to see if it can be converted over to diamond wheels. So on the way to the airport, we stop by his house to meet his family and to check out his grinder. Well, he opens the garage door and there sits the 2 grinders, numerous tumblers and rocks all over the place. Then he brings out the boxes with his cabs, and there's a lot of cabs in these boxes and they all look great. That's when I called out to Jamie "Hey, we have a secret closet cabber here".
So I looked at his grinder and told him it will be a piece of cake to convert it to diamond and I could see the gleam in his eyes, and at that moment, I knew I had gotten him to come out of the closet! ;D So, have you ordered your diamond wheels yet?
These cabs look great Gil. But where are the rest of them. People are going to want to see more of them. The first one looks like Adventurine and the third one looks like a Brazilian Agate.

Well, they all look like Lincoln pennies to me! (Ducking quick to avoid thrown objects)
Seriously, those are nice cabs. We want more!!

Hey, you been hiding this stuff for how long? I agree, the first one looks like aventurine, 2nd no idea, 3rd botswana agate. But then I really have no idea, I'm just guessing. Nice job, love that first one, it's a real beaut!
