Dendritic agate. Pretty pitty so I didn't put a lot of time into it but experimented with my first double sided cab.

Notsureite. I think it might be flint but its not the same colors as my other ohio flint.

Could be wood, you tell me. This is one of my favorites.

Palomino picture stone from Firewalker. Pretty stuff but it didn't shine up as well as I hoped.

Picasso marble maybe? From Shain at Freeformcabs.

Tiger iron.

Unknown agate. A druzy pocket opened up in the right corner as I was grinding it.

I LOVE green stones and this one is very pretty. Any ideas what it is?

Wonderstone. I know how it got its name. Its so pity its a wonder anyone would cab it. Is it normally this pity.

Unknown, maybe wood.

Thanks for looking.

The green one could possibly be some form of unakite.

I think you did a great job on all...........MrP

something about the notsureite reminds me of the owyhee material. the one that had the druzy open up reminds me of a cab i got from stoner. i think he had it labeled wwr agate.

you have some great cabs in all your posts!

Nice shapes, and you're getting some good shine, even on the hard stuff. My favorite is the last one.

I sand it to 320 then buff. Rick

Nice work.
