Finally had a chance to cut a few cabs, looks like I need to do it more often judging from the shapes of these, lol! Most of them are Confetti Chrysocolla      This one is surrealite And so is the one below   and again, surrealite  this is a piece of cuprite, (chalcotrichite) with a little bit of chrysocolla in it.  more confetti   primavera  an ugly double domed jelly opal (too big and beefy)   chrysocolla  And a crippled wwr agate in need of some surgery, it almost looks smooth cuz all the pits got filled in with compound! I haven't got a new piece of leather put on my wheel yet but I will very soon, Ed sent me some paste to buff with so no more compound.!!!  Last was a fire agate, came out kinda blurry but look at how clear my fingers came in to view.  Thanks for looking!!! |

Hey Jamie,
Looks like you've been busy. Very Nice Cabs! I gotta love that fire agate, even if pic is blurry, but glad to see you still have fingerprints left, after making all those pretty stones. I like the cuprite very much too. Show more pics after using the buffing paste from Ed. Thanks for sharing.

You saved the best for last, but you also have some very nice confetti.

Jamie,
Notrhing wrong with those shapes woman! You've been busy today cutting and grinding so many cabs. I really like that sureealite(sp), never even heard of it. I also love that last Chrysocolla....and I don't think that jelly opal is to big and beefy. I think that one is sweeet too. Thanks for posting some of your cabs.
Steve

That's some very cool stuff! But really, they actually have something called surrealite? |

A few cabs? Looks like you had lots of time to cut cabs. I sure don't see anything wrong with the shapes, in fact, I think they're great shapes. Some of the confetti cabs almost rival boulder opals. Excellent job Jamie. You should make more time for cutting cabs. My vote for favs goes to the WWR and the fire agate.

Jamie, those are all amazing, even the jelly opal, it's not ugly at all. I don't know if I've ever seen that one, it's very cool. The blues in the others are just amazing.
