I finished these a couple of weeks ago but got sidetracked by some tax returns and a flood. Some Vaquilla agate, red and white Mexican lace, Utah variscite (from Shain) and a picture jasper caboJohn. Here's the whole bunch.  The two Vaquilla agates.   Red Mexican lace.    And one of the white Mexicans - this one's got a nice drusy pocket goin' through it.  Hope ya like 'em, Rich |

Damn Rich, I have to say, you took to cabbing like a bird does to flying. They're all fantastic looking cabs, both in the cuts and the general quality of the cabs themselves. What are using for your polishing stage? Whatever it is, don't change because it's working out real well for you. I'm impressed!

Ed - Last stop for the cabs is the 14K wheel.
When I set up the leather polishing disc a while back, with 50K paste, I tried it out on an agate slab I had hand polished and didn't get the finish I expected. So I bagged it and put it in a drawer. I've never tried it on a cab. Probably cause I like that 14K wheel a lot.

Fantastic cabs Rich. Those Mex lace ones are amazing. I like the colors in those and that one with the druzy pocket is cool. I'd say stick with what works. Yeah, you can go higher in grit, but it looks like you are dialed in. Great job.

Nice Druzy for sure, good pattern, shape and use of material. you get a A+ just on that one alone. But all the rest are fine lookers too. Good lace no doubt. Thanks for sharing.
