Once again those are real beauties Ed. That Arizona cab sure is nice!  Are you using diamond wheels to get your polish? |

Really like the Blue Lace and the Botswana - is that the Virgin of Guadalupe I see in that cab? Oh, and I love the Apache Sage! It's probably my favorite of the picture stones, mostly 'cuz it looks like
New Mexico.
Another great set!

Another fantastic set o' cabs. Being a lover of green stones that siberain jade really got my attention, its one of my favorite shapes too. My fav would have to be that rhyolite, fantastic looking rock and the shape is absolutely perfect for the pattern.

Oh yes.....better than sex! ;D Thanks Ed  What an awesome bunch of beauties. Lots of Agates in there so this is a difficult decision for one fav. I'd have to go non-agate here though and vote the siberian jade! What an unbelieveable color!  The Bot is unusual, and the Arizona Agate and Cathedral Agate are sooo nice too! I needed that.. \Steve |

Gotta say I like that Arizona agate, Ed. Just saw two nice ones on your other post.
Love that jade too - what a color! But my fav is the Cathedral agate. (Where's that from?)

Wow! Love the rhyolite Ed. The unknown you've questioned is probably Piaute Dendritic ( also known as Snake River Dendritic Agate) which I used to get from a guy in SW Idaho. Unsure of the exact location it's mined in but somewhere in the Snake River country anyway. However, material almost identical does come from Rancho Parral in Chihuahua, Mexico and Valley Springs in Calif.....Mel

I really like the coloring on that onyx - that soft peach is just lovely. And the placement of the laguna is wonderful as well!

Love that opal, of course, and the colors in the Mel-ite.... love they way you framed the rhyolite... but the shape on the onyx gets me off the most. The little jog back to the left on the top right is just too cool T |
