That second one looks like it is a reflection of the sky with the treetops showing on the bottom. They are all beautiful!

Nice work Joe, I like the trees and the sky in the dendritic agate.

It's hard to type when you're upside down . . . . .
I was tryin' to see how the agate looks flipped around. ;D
Looks cool both ways.

Thanx gang! I really started to get a better, glasslike shine when I bit the bullet and bought 600g and 1200g diamond belts. The brand Ed recommended. They are unbelievable!! Long live diamond belts!!!
I was so sure how I wanted to orient that agate. Now you all have me thinkin' again. I gotta figure out how to put it to a vote!

Great looking cabs Joe. I like the thunderegg slice the most out of all of them. Those shined up real nice too. The key is that 1200 grit belt. Ed knows his stuff. I hope you wore sunglasses when you polished those  Steve |

Very nice cabs. The fracture is tiny and could be hidden by a good wrapper. The needle is very original, I wonder how will look a jewel that includes it.

All the killer orientation Joe, i find it to be a fun way to break the cabbing manotiny. (is that cab mano-tiny or what?) LOL I still like that second one for some reason. Its gotta be the blue. Keep up the nice work.  |

I gave you T-Egg??? When the heck did I do that??? It wasn't long after you bought the Workforce saw. Yup, awhile ago! It's been sitting in it's own tray gathering dust. It was time to clean it up. Thanks all for the compliments! |
