An amazing piece of chrysocolla from Desertdweller. I love the vibrant blue in it.

Chrysoprase. Not worth cabbing but I wanted to practice on it before trying a good piece.

Mexican geode from Connrock. I noticed in the photo that i need to wash it.

Back side of the geode.

Lizard stone (I think) from Firewalker. I like this shape a lot.

Missouri agate from Connrock. I love this stuff.

Unknown agate. I love the little thunder egg pattern in the upper corner.

Back lit.

Another unknown agate.

Back lit.

Thanks for looking at all of these.

I kinda like the Chrysoprase, unusal color. I could make a neat summer necklace from that. The Missouri agate is way cool also.

Being that the Marlboro Chyrsoprase is mined out and scare on the marker and that the other Australian supply is dwindling there's really no such thing as Chrysoprase not worth cabbing. Watch rockman69's auction's on eBay. He has African Chyrsoprase. He bought a year of the mine's production. He let me high grade through his ungraded barrel. Nice stuff that I need to get cutting...

Hey Tony, glad to see you've had time to do some cabbing. This reply is for all four of your sets, I haven't been around here much and have some catching up to do. All these cabs look great in their shapes and the way you chose the material from the slabs. You've come a long way in a short time, very impressive.
