Played around a little on the cabbing machines this weekend. Got a few done. Some Owyhee green jasper same cab as above, different view, different lighting This is a slab from a Beacon Hill nodule, too pretty to cut so I polished the whole slab, it is about 3 inches across the wide part Different view and different lighting This is a piece of Blue African Pietersite. When you hold it one way it looks solid black, tilt it a little and it goes neon blue, this thing is waaaaaay coooool!! Chris did this one, it is a piece of Teton Jade that we collected a couple of months ago at Bitch Creek Thanks for looking...............Tony

Wowsers that Beacon Hill is something else. That second jasper is my fav. Chirs is really becoming a cabbing machine.

Both of you are posting awesome cabs. That Beacon Hill sure is a show piece and that Pietersite is just beautiful.

Boy, you two are really moving along with these cabs! I like your pietersite the best I think. It may be because we were covering blue minerals last night at our local meeting and I could just have blue on the brain :drool: Great Job! Fran

Nice work on some nice material, Tony. The beacon hill has a very interesting pattern to it and I like how you chose to work it. Tony
