Hey folks! yesterday I was finally able to take a day off from our building project and cut a couple cabs (woohoo!). I found myself a little rusty after a month and a half but here's what I did...

Condor

Koroit

Rutile Quartz

Cuprite 'n Chrysocolla

here's the whole fiesta platter

Oh man it felt good to work some stone. When we're done buildin'.. look out!

They sure look good. That Cuprite 'n Chrysocolla is awesome. Love the red in it. The Koroit looks like an alien, LOL. Good to see your cabs again, it's been awhile. Tonja

Beef,
I'd totally agree with Tonja..that Chrysocolla is really awesome. I've never seen red in it like that...very unique and really cool. they are all great, and it looks like you didn't get rusty at all. It's good to see some more of your cabs; glad you were able to break free to have some fun.

They are all gorgeous, but the rutilated and the chryssocolla stand out! Amazing shine on all of them! Adrian

You get the most insane polishes on your cabs, they look great. Love the koroit, great job on all.
