Have not had much time in the cab room, but managed to get a few done, some good, some OK, and some really bad Some are going back to the wheels. Indonesian Coral Crazy Lace-from Stoneviews Laguna Lace-from STR Crinoid Marble Ohio Flint-fromMudshark, Love this, it is huge! Laker-from Superioragates Mexican Opal-from auction, the opal has a lot of green fire but could not get a pic to show it, I like the matrix, not really sure what to do with this stuff. Boulder Opal-this was from ebay this first piece is big and has lots of fire you can't see. And a piece of malachite, which I really messed up!!! Enjoy!!!! Amber

Well, Amber, I saw the good ones. I kept looking for the OK ones & the Really bad ones, but just couldn't find them! That Indonesian Coral is spectacular. You do have some pretty interesting stones there, I like them all.

Glad to see your cabs again Amber! Hey, if you don't have time to go to the cabbing room, just move your cabbing machine to another room! ;D
All are beautiful but the Ohio flint and the first two ones are my favorites.

Good grief, Amber - you made my eyes swim, those are all so gorgeous and so doggone BUSY! I love cabs with lots of stuff going on, and all of these fit that bill. Really nice!

I'm surprised you cabbed the malachite knowing your aversion to dirty rocks. lol It is tough to cab. That ones a little rough but the others all look great. That coral is stunning as is that crazy lace and the flint. Sounds like I'll be doing some groove wrapping soon. I do have one bone to pick with you though. That Mexican opal is YOUR material and YOUR cab but I'm thinking someone else cabbed it for you. I wonder who that could be. :nono: ;D

Amber....super nice set of cabs! Although....that Malachite that Tony did really looks goofy amongst the rest. ;D I'm gonna get myself into trouble! Love that Lace and the Flint. Thanks for sharing. Steve

They are all gorgeous Amber. I really like the crazy lace one! Just so ya know, when I am cutting the lakers, I use the dremel now, I don't get hardly any fractures doin it that way, so if ya have any of that laker left, you might try a slower blade to cut it. The cab is gorgeous tho! course...I'm a little biased! LOL Marie

Yeah Maarie, Lets balme Tony, he cut it, LOL, I was so mad, you know those lakers really hold the water, and then I saw that fracture coming through, and the top chipped, which is why it is straight across the top, I am going to work on it some more though that is one going back to the wheels.

I hear ya on not getting much time in the cabbing room! On top of that, it's COLD down in that basement!
Love that coral, Amber...ooh, and the laces! Malachite is tough stuff to get a great polish on. It likes to burn, baby burn, too.
