Your right Mitzi, cabbing is highly addictive. I never tried the leopard skin but it looks good to work with. Your cabs are looking great, keep up the good work!

Man I keep typing posts and forgetting to hit the post button *LOL*! Anyway, very cool cabs. I really like orbs so the leopard skin is a favorite with me. The pink and green is what is sometimes called Wyoming or Washington Pink Jade but the pink is actually thulite. The green may be nephrite jade. The pink thulite is more properly zoisite I guess. We have it here in Cally too near Porterville and Ludlow. Pretty stuff but the pink is softer than the green so it's hard to get a nice even polish....Mel

I like very much both the cabs and the display idea, on the rough rock from which the cab is made.

Those are gorgeous! I really like the two picture jaspers, especially the oval. That pattern works so well in round.

love the leopardskin jasper, I've found that the hardness varies from piece to piece - sometimes you get a great one that takes an amazing shine, other times you get a real softy that takes a matte shine

Man oh man, look at the shine you're getting! Fantastic work Mitzi, love the way you display them next to the rough versions. That breccia is top shelf. Super job!!

Great cabs Mitzi. That first one looks like its silver and gold. Neat pattern on the leopard. Good shine on all.

Nice cabs,I too chime in on Leopardskin being a favorite to cut.Yours has the hint of green which is very attractive.That pink and green material is very intriguing.
