Hi all. I haven't had time to do much cabbing or much of anything else lately because I'm in the process of buying a house-first time home owner blues. We just signed the papers and are offically in escrow now. So I thought I'd celebrate by relaxing at the cabbing machine.

These first 3 are for Jeremy, my first sodalite cabs.

Some boulder opals

Red Horn Coral

Brazillian agate

Condor agate

Thanks for looking, hopefully it won't be so long between posting new cabs.

They are all beautiful but I especially like the Condor Agate and I think Gil will also. Superior cabs as always. Pete

What some sweet cabs Ed! Those BO are really stunning. The 1st one looks almost like Pietersite, but I'd have to agree with Mel. The last 2 BO's are really amazing. They look like they have a mix of Tigers Eye in them. Really nice stuff.

Just great, Ed! Scrolling down I kept saying :that's my fav ... no, that one ... till I reached the end of post. But the first and the yellow BO's and the horn coral are the kings.

Congratulations for the house. Will it be a cabbing room in there?

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes on the house. We're not sure if we're happy or scared. I'm going to hate moving all our stuff. My cabbing machine will be the last thing to get packed up, I'm going to need it for stress relief!
