Man, Ed, that's one superb collection!!!!!!! I think almost all of those you should tuck away as best-of-the-best, and keep them as examples of your finest cabs. Some things you just can't put a price on.

Holy smokes Ed, I like em all - they would look perfect in my house! amongst my things... hehe  those rutiles are amazing and that BO (well you know where I stand on BO) and those fire agates, well there are just no words to describe those. That would be a good idea to keep some nice ones, I'm a sucker for a good plea and have had to part with my favorite pieces (my green butterfly being one of them) - gonna hafta keep them now - that would be hard as they're all my favorites.. |

Magnificent! They all hold such beauty and some of them are so artistically crafted they suggest subtle movement even though I know they are static, stationary rocks. Absolutely breathtaking beauty!!!! I had trouble scrolling down the page because I didn't want to stop looking at the one that had center screen at any given moment. What a delight to see some of my favorites [from your previous postings] in this thread.
Please tell me these are somehow on display and not packed away in box somewhere. These need to be looked at and appreciated at least every day.
Simply Magnificent!

Gasp! Unfreakingbelievable Ed! Man, I'd never part with any of those. Guess if I had to choose a favorite it's be either the Sahara Picture jasper or the Bouquet Plume but all of them are incredible. I don't think I've ever seen rutilated quartz that clear and with that fine of a polish. Those are really terrific too!......Mel

Thanks everyone, there's more, but these are the ones I came across while going through my photobucket albums. I must admit though, some of these cabs are preforms I purchased from our friend Bearcreek, and can only take credit for doming and polishing them.

Interesting that you should say this, because it is the reason I named my website Stones In Motion.

....wow...*swoon*... oops - I mean - why on earth would you want to keep those old things?!? I really can't see why you'd want to hang on to those...baubles... - taking up valuable space - really - you can't hold on to just any little ol'thing that comes out of the ground. I hate to see someone suffer so with pack-rat-itis - so I'm going to do anything I can to help you out. Pack up all that junk and send it to me. It's the least I can do given all the knowledge and advice you've shared on this board. Let me help you.  (just curious - has this ever worked for anyone?) Those are amazing - each one - catches your breath - stirs an emotion. wow. |

Mind-blowingly beautiful - I really love all of them but number 4 (the blue with the pinky/red centre) is really something else. Amazing.
