I don't often find a Laker with no fracturing in it, and I haven't found very many red,white, & blue ones, so in my stash, I have found 2 red, white & blue Lakers....both with no fracturing!!! I was too excited not to share this one with you guys when I got it finished! Roughed out cab with my dremel Shown wet...... Ain't it just too cool?!!! Thanks for lookin Marie

That's a beautiful cab, one of the coolest banded agates that I've seen

Super Nice Marie! It's not too often that a Laker will come out unfractured. Perfect Shape also! Steve

Marie, that's one nifty little cab! Don't you just love it when you take what the rock gives you and it turns out perfect like that? Way cool.

Yeah Tom I sure do! This pic does not even do this cab justice, and I sure hope when it comes out of polish I don't have any chipping, and I can take a good picture of it!!! LOL Marie

That one is spectacular Marie! Just load up plenty of plastic pellets in the rotary and you should be good.

That is so pretty! You did such a great job no one would imagine that you did it with a dremel!
