Well I've been very, VERY busy! (modified some names after double checking)
Now I didn,t do all these in one session, I had some in various stages of completion and moved them on as I was progressing
You'll have to excuse the rather monotonous use of 18x25 oval shape but my dad wanted a few wrapped in chainmaille and others for his family when he goes over to see his family in Europe and others I have that size of setting so I've had to use that particular shape - I also have a few craft shows lined up at the end of Sept so I'll need to wrap those as well - but I did get creative with other ones...
But first: Here is the Picasso marble I got off that place that can't be named - vendor Laprap (most excellent)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1699.jpg)
5 pieces of graveyard plume - cab below somewhere
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1698.jpg)
Here is the whole lot of them - one tiny freeform in the upper middle right is a bloodstone pendant for a co-workers new girlfriend

First up: this one will be mine once I get it polished up at the club on the diamond Titan (and no Dean Cain will not show up - unfortunately) - this is Australian Tiger Iron - very soft & messy but once that hematite shines up nicely it'll be a killer cab!

Pics go upper left to right & then down - then left & right - you get the idea
Montana agate - Aventurine (takes a weird polish) - Rhodonite from BC - this one's more purplish (this one fractured & I glued it back together with super glue - I think my fingers were glued on this one too - go figure - and African Lace
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1718.jpg)
Porcelain Jasper - silver sheen obsidian - porcelain jasper (my first rock love after seeing Sands' purple Haze)- KDs generous gift - and rainbow obsidian (I've been incredibly lucky with catching the flashes of color which leads me to believe that there is NO wrong way to cab or cut this stuff!
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1714.jpg)
Stuff from BC (?) - ? - Graveyard plume - crazy lace
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1713.jpg)
Brazilian I think - montana agate from WarrenA - leopardskin jasper (from KD again - THIS time I got some softer stuff - I also had a slab of much harder material - this on took a very matte finish) - blue lace agate
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1712.jpg)
Montana agate - picture jasper - african queen jasper - graveyard plume - see slab above
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1711.jpg)
? - dentritic agate - silver lace onyx from Stone Age (very soft stuff) - brecciated stuff
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1710.jpg)
some sort of agate (montana) - mahogony obsidian - something crazy from WarrenA (he told me the name last time can't remember darn CRS) - green moss agate
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Tweetiepy/th_DSCF1717.jpg)
Feel free to add names as fitting (yeah I'm a wealth of information aren't I?)
Thanks for looking - I may repost pictures once they're mounted
