Great work, that last plume is awesome. I also really like the Willow Creek doublet.
What type of glue do you use?

Yep! Your favorite is my favorite too, but the plume before it isn't a bit less amazing: those plumes together with the red tiny dots look like an explosion and its sound-wave. The Lapis egg is gorgeous, too.

Fantastic cabs Ed! liking the Apache Chrysocolla, the opals and your fav - really cool look to that one. It's also good to see Dale's Kaliedescope Jasper, it looks like a great material but how does it cab?

Dang Ed those are fantastic. I never thought of using a different stone as a backer except for working a clear plume agate as a doublet. I like the way it frames the stone but I imagine its hard to get it even. Nice work.

Those Plumes are Sweeeet Ed! My favorite has to be the Apache Chrysocolla, Willow Creek doublet, and the 'Depths of Hell' BO! Steve BTW...Hows the Kaleidoscope Jasper to work??? I've been EYEING Dales material on e-bay quite a bit lately. Steve

I swear that the purplish blue sparks in that first Opal is jumping right out of the cab. WOW!
Super group of cabs.

Deep breathing is a good idea Frane - I find myself holding my breath though when I see Stoner's work. Good thing he doesn't post any more at a time than he does. No way to pick a favorite - those are just downright stunning. That red moss really stuck with me though. Of course next time I go through them I'll find a different favorite... Word of warning though - it doesn't pay to have your better half (even a very supportive better half who loves everything you make) looking over your shoulder while you're looking at Stoner cabs... "ohhhhhh why don't you try to make some like THOSE?!?!?"

Wow - those are beautiful. I like them all, but the lapis really does it for me. I really like whatever you are using for a backdrop for your pics too. It sets them off very nicely.

Love them all, but really like that second Lapis...I think it's the shape.
There's a Middle Eastern guy here in Albuquerque who sells some really nice Afghani Lapis. Every time I purchase from him I feel like I'm supporting Al Quaeda.

Incredible set Ed. The plume is totally awesome. Are you moving product or are sales flat?

Oh my goodness, I've forgotten how beautiful your work is Ed. The lapis and the doublets are stunning. They all are but those are really amazing.
