Beautiful work! The second Owyhee, the Tahoma and the second Nipomo marcasite are my favorites.

Excellent set. The Nippomo and the Morgan Hill really caught my eye.

Those are all beautiful Geoff. You have a great eye for picking quality material & choosing really attractive patterns to cut for your cabs. Do you go collect the Marcasite yourself at Nipomo? There is an area in Southern Cal where I collect it - it is gorgeous material, but so dirty to work! It's worth it though!

Thanks so much everybody. Your comments are inspiring. I have never been to Nipomo (got it on ebay) in fact, I have only collected about 3 times. My wife bought a old lapidary shop for our anniversary and I have so much rock.............yet i still buy  My name is Geoffrey, I am a rockaholic  |

I'm not a rockaholic, no way, not me, no sir. No way your going to get me to take 12 steps and give up my rocks. Not gonna happen.  Those are some fine looking cabs. Those two tahoma's are great, I love the way you positioned the pattern on the cabs. I really like the shape of the first Owyhee flower jasper. |
