I am having a blast with my camera; sad to say I have not cabbed anything in a week; the withdrawal symptoms are becoming apparent. I will definitely be hitting the wheels tonight. I do have some I finished before I got my new camera that have been waiting to photographed.
This is a t egg from the old opal beds in Oregon. It has a purpley undertone in bright light. I thought it looked like an underwater scene so that is what I tried to capture.
This was an unknown moss from J2B2 it came from the Bass collection. I figured if a great cabber had bought it; it must have been good; so I bought some. Parts of the rough had pink plume like feature in the golden brown moss. It took 6 cut on the work force to separate that part of the rough form the regular moss. This was one of the best cab size slabs; so it went to the cabbing machine first. I did it double sided. There is one mostly healed fissure running between the druzy pockets from front to back. The area around the pink stuff was really cracky; lost a lot of material trying to get some nice cabbing slabs.

These are retakes.
