Hi y'all! ;D I haven't posted too many cabbing pics, but I've cabbed a few, and even did a pendant batch in the vibe. A couple of the pics I'm gonna re-take later, I just figured out another feature on my camera. lol..... Here's the entire batch of cabs set in cinch mounts from lynnmay (ebay) and 4 prong mounts from Cheryl (floydrocks)......  These are taverine onyx from Steve (horsinaround)  African brecciated jasper from Kim (rockyraccoon)....  Red jasper with quartz, and some kind of agate from somewhere ;D lol......  Vogesite from Kim, and picasso jasper from Astro Gallery....  Top right is a moss agate from KrazyDiamond, the other three are African stuff from Kim.....  Kim again (cyber girlfriend) ;D .....  I had to get a closer shot of this one, another brecciated jasper from Kim. It's one of my favorites...  Kim. lol, my best stuff comes from her.  These two top ones are Wonder jasper from ebay, much harder than wonderstone and takes a better shine as well. The bottom left is Lepidolite from Cheryl (floydrocks) and bottom right is African brecciated jasper from Kim...   Black agate!! I love this stuff (Astro Gallery) .........  4 prong settings......  Here ya go, the white part of this black agate pendant is all druzy......  I call these "flaming black agates". No, they aren't gay. Some of them just look like they're on fire. lol....  More pendants....     Harlie's rock pile. This is all of the end-cuts and scraps. None of it is for sale, it's Harlie's. Get your own. ;D .....  |

Cheryl- The car sits 5 feet from the cabbing machine, so I get the "urge" now and then. lol

If that's cabing "a few" I wonder what means for you cabbing a lot.
Beautiful cabs and settings, colours and shine

After seeing a pendant load from Randy, I'm not surprised he'd consider this just a few! And if you labeled that rock pile "Elvis' Rock Pile" I'm sure there would be fewer people who wanted to stick their hands in it.  |

NIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIce! I'm a sucker for the clear ones and the picasso is awesome but I also like the red ones and the black I can't find the cinch mounts on lynnmay's site - does she always have them or just sometimes? |

I'm soooooo impressed. I can't imagine having the time or energy to do all that you've done. I especially love the black agate, too!

Tweet- Lynnmay had some laying around that she was getting rid of, so I ended up with all that she had. I even called her last week to see if she ran across any more of them. The best deal that I've found elsewhere so far is firemountain gems.

That is a few alright; hundred . Nice job on the cinch mounts and some real high domes on the cabs. I really like the black agate from astro too; super shine and the occational color and white fortifications create a super effect against the black. |
