Hi all. I was on vacation last week and managed to fit in some cabbing. OK it was more than just some cabbing. Here is part one.
Bloodstone. I got this from Snowdog last year and this was the first piece I got around to cabbing. It is a bit pitty at the top so I may redo this one.
Crazy lace. A friend of mine was out in California and wanted to bring me back some rocks. Stoner was nice enough to entertain her for a while and then give her some very fine slabs. This is from one of them. It has a druzy pocket in the lower left.
Dino bone. I got this at my local rock shop in the $4 a pound bin. Quite a steal in my opinion. Its a little pitty right in the middle but didn't undercut much. This is a fav of mine and will go into my collection.
Green tree agate.
Labrodorite. Also from the $4 a pound bin. I got 3 fairly nice pieces of this material. Its a bit fractured so the cabs will be smaller but they have pretty good flash.
Leopardskin jasper. One of my favorite materials. Always seems to be a hit.

Noreena jasper. I got this piece from weeshan, its the only noreena I have but a crack appeared while I was polishing. It must be more heat sensitive then most rocks I work since I've never had this happen before.
Ocean jasper. This was sold as tumbling material but there were a few pieces big enough to cab.
