Hi folks! I spent the day cutting a few cabs and would like to present them now for your viewing pleasure. Without further ado, here we go  Montana Agate  Backlit. (sideways it's another little shad)  Ocean Jasper  Boulder Opal  The back. I see fighting dragons  Polka Dot Agate  Condor Agate (with a touch of drusy amethyst)  The back  Pietersite. Pic turned out too dark to really show off the chatoyant effect  and my pathetic attempt to show off the chatoyancy   Thanks for looking |

Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow-oh-Wow!
What some wow-inspiring cabs Beef. You have some outstanding material and I love the shad. Turn it on it's side so we can see it swimming, not just before you put it on the hook. That one and the O.J. are my 2 favs....although they are all amazing.

These are really nice, Beef! I really like the shapes. The Pietersite and the jasper stick out to me. The Pietersite for the shape and the jasper for the way you framed the show! T
And how about a little tutorial on your photography. You manage to show off the stones so well.

That machine and you sure are getting along! The polish on those is amazing. That polka dot agate looks real nice with that super shine on it, same with the montana agate. Wow. I think the fighting dragons cab looks more like a roadrunner confronting an iguana. Great job on all of them.

Thanks everyone! Batman and Robin, you'se guys are crackin' me up! lol Tony W and Mitzi.. it's just point and shoot The camera's a 5.1 mp Easy Share which hopefully will get replaced later this week ;D I usually take 3 or 4 pics of each stone, then when I load them on the 'puter I'll go through and crop the best ones. That gives me a little more 'close up'. Ah Steve.. the roadrunner and iguana. I can see them! Thanks again gang!! |
