Here's the latest. The first two are from a WWR bisquit   yellow horn coral, cut lengthwise.  A little piece Roxy gave me to polish for her from Burro Creek. Remember this one Roxy? I'll send this along with your other piece tomorrow.  Chrysocolla from Jamie  Boulder opal  Fire agate, a couple of views.   Marfa plume  I thought this was dino bone, but it is pretty soft material and somewhat translucent.  Red Dino bone from Robert. Nice stuff.  OJ  The next ones are Royal velvet obsidian. I was finally able to cut this stuff to show all the colors. First one  Second one  turned 180  Third one   turned 180  And a piece of sagenite with a bear cub's face.  Here is the WWR agate I posted last week.  And here it is after I enhanced it using my back lighting technique.  |

Wow, those royal velvet obsidian cabs are out of this world. They look so frothy. I like the rainbows. It's so hard to imagine that comes from lava. Outstanding batch of cabs. That marfa plume is cool too.

I love the coral and the dino bone! Oh, and the royal velvet.
The last pic show an underwater landscape that seems so real! Your photographer skills are close to your cabbing skills by now!

Those are spectacular! It's impossible to pick a favorite, but that BO is calling my name for sure. LOVE the blue/brown combo! Those obsidian cabs are fantastic, too! How difficult is that material to work?

Wow Ed! I agree with Titania, impossible to pick a fav, but I'm hearing my name sung by a rock group, and the fire agate is crying out a solo, and the back up singers are such a harmonious polished blend, but BO and Red Dino and Third One Royal Velvet Obsidian are heard above the others at times. Great job on each cut and polish. Each pic was a pleasure to see. I see the bear cub. The cab you cut for Roxi Rocks!! I'm anxious to see what she does with that.

Man, oh man, these are all so good! Hard to pick any favorites, but this time I have to say the obsidian is amazing, as is the dino, and the Woodward... and, and, the fire and the opal.. and.... the sagenite, and....  You must have a supply of the worlds best material of all kinds. You constantly outdo yourself! T |

Thanks everyone. The obsidian is easy to work, it's cutting it in the right direction to bring out the colors that's tricky, but I got that figured out now. KD, here's the bear cub's face.  |

Nice job Ed, I guess you're finished with the house. Those are all some super cabs and way too many to pick a fav but I think the obsidian and the wwr ones come in at the top of the list
