Here’s a few recent cabs. First up, a coupla Bots:

This little guy’s the same thickness as a quarter. Argentina agate:

Leopardskin and picture jaspers:

Brazilian – 2” high:

These two came from the same slab – an unknown I got for a dollar. Might’ve been a slice from a thunderegg.

Thanks for lookin’

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Amazingly thin that small bot. My favorite is the leopard skin. Adrian

I was wondering where you've been. Glad to see you were keeping busy. These are some really nice cabs Rich. Love the thin agate, if you ever get any WWR plumes, that's the best way to cut them. Excellent job on all of them. Don't be such a stranger.
