I was gifted some very nice material by the man who did the setting on my avatar cab. He gave me a case containing lapis, sugilite, malachite, and the list goes on. So here are a few cabs from the case and also a cab from the Utah material I got from Tim and a beautiful agate sent to me from Romania by Adrian. Thank you all for some wonderful material. All these cabs are great Easter egg colors.

Jasper from Tim

WWR agate

Unknown, maybe sugilite

Happy Easter everyone!

Great treats. Are they chocolate on the inside? All of them look delicious!

These are all natural colors. I really like the deep blue of the lapis and the sugilite is such a great shade of purple. Tony, none of these came from Wenrics, they came from the jeweler that has his shop in the same complex where I work.

Spectaular colors as others have mentioned. I think your purple one might be Charoite from Siberia www.google.com/images?q=charoite

They are all beautiful though. Did you get my package yet?
