I have no idea what fired my arse up today but here are some cabs after a long hiatus. The first 2 are koroits, the second is a real nice blue from the last rock I cut. I will include the slabs from which they came from after the cabs.

This is one of the most intense blue opal I have seen so far out of the koroits:

Jade:

Here are the slabs from where they came from:

Have you ever worked any purple jade? what's the size of the second BO? I'm blinded by the flash on that one!

Hey Tony, It must have been my Coulter thread that fired you up.

Good to see I can be of some use. Great cabs by the way, the blue in that second one is awsome, but that last photo, that slice is going to make some incredible cabs. Can't wait to see the cab pics.

I see the Indian woman too, she looks sad. Probably experienced a vision quest and found out in the future we would call her an Indigenous American Lady. LOL This thread is political!! john

Those are all very nice, as usual! That slice at the end makes me envious. I'd really like to see more of the slabs too. Pics of how you cut from the chunks and what the blanks look like before too much grinding. Opal is fascinating. Thanks, T
