So here is the first cab redone, I've grinded away at it until the crack. What do you think?

Also here is a new one, it's way below the rock standards are shown here, it's a simple brown serpentine found so in abundance in Cyprus. Basically I made this to show hubby that even the simplest dullest Cyprus rock can shine so nicely when worked with the cabbing machine. He was a bit worried that now I'll keep buying rocks from the US as ours are not so nice

I did cheat a bit on this one, as I had it finished the stage 2 of tumbling, so I took it from there and finished it on the Ameritool.

I especially like your "simple" brown serpentine! It's a beauty. Can't wait to see how you wrap it! Lady B
	And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.
