I actually did 11, but two were for customers and one is missing. (I suspect that Cathy wore it to work this morning). lol... I was doing demos at the "Treasures of the Earth" gem and jewelry show at the Virginia Beach convention center all weekend, it was a blast! I got to talk to some really cool people all weekend. Anyhow, these are "all" Cathy's now. ;D lol..... (note): the first four wire wraps are all from gift slabs (and a chunk of opal) that "dbrealityrocks" sent me........ Pietersite #1.....  Pietersite #2.....  Pietersite #3....  Black opal......  Check out this beautiful labradorite, thanks Amber!! .......  Totally awesome graveyard point plume agate, I cut this from an 8 pound chunk that I received from an Ebay seller.......  Another cab cut from a gift slab. This is Serephinite (spelling??) that I received from a local member of the Gem and Mineral Society. The stone is from Russia....  And an Owyhee picture jasper. This was also a gift rock from Jamie (desertdweller)......  |

 Beautiful cabs and wraps Randy! I love them all and Cathy is a lucky woman! You really do set her up nicely with plenty of jewelry selections! Some women never wear the same thing twice, she doesn't have to wear the same wrap twice with the amount you turn out!  Great job! Fran

Thanks! I'm really liking the graveyard stuff. It does have a ton of pits that either have to be worked around or filled in, but it's totally work it. The show this weekend was really fun, I can hardly wait for the next one. Every person there was really cool to talk to.

Randy, you really outdid yourself. The stones are amazing and your wraps perfection. Does Cathy have one for every day of the year yet? ;D Jo

That stuff got the most attention at the Gem and Jewelry show this weekend, one of the guys had three slabs for sale but the price was through the roof!! This stuff ain't cheap in the first place but he added another dimension to it by a longshot. lol

Dude, those are all excellent! My favorite however is the Pietersite #1. I see Pietersite on ebay a lot... all from China. Is that the only place quality rough comes from?

Ditto on the Graveyard, but they are all beauties. I just love your style that shows off the stones so well! Really like the shape of the Graveyard, as well!

All of them are beautiful. My favorite is the labradorite. You are making some really cool and interestingly shaped cabs. Glad you had a good time at the show.
