The one in the uper right looks ditinctly different from the other two. Different polish or something?

It only looks lighter in the pic, I don't know why. Maybe I'm a lousy pic taker! In person they don't look that different. Thanks for all the compliments!

All are great, but the vivid pink of the one in the upper-right makes it my favorite. Adrian

Hey Rich, this stuff is great! I love it. I have four Jade cabs completed also but I can't get a decent pic of them. They look dull and weary in the pics so I'm gonna try again.

Adrian, I'm not sure the upper right one is that much brighter. It must have been the way the sun was shining on it or something. It's still a nice cab, but it isn't much different colorwise from the others. They were all cut from the same slab.

Thanx for all the positive feedback!!!
