Wow, Donnie - there's some purty ones in this batch! Did you notice the witch on her broomstick flying from left to right, about to go past the dead tree? It's in the "squiggly jasper" picture.
Love the lapis - the blue is almost a unique shade, and it's gorgeous!

A late and wild Night!??! That is a bunch of nice cabs Donnie. I enjoy seeing your cabs because of the different variety of material you use. Love the Agate of course! I alos like the Lapis with the dark blue and the Malachite. Nice eye Tom! I notice you have a good eye for pictures in stones. Thanks Donnie. Your cabs are improving with every post. Steve

Donnie, you're gonna be crowned the Cab Queen if you keep it up! Awesome work, it's all so pretty! The agate one I think takes 1st prize from me.

Donnie, you have outdone yourself. Those are gorgeous. I have a soft spot for most agates and I just love that one and the malachite and the lapis, oh shoot, I can't pick a favorite, they are wonderful.

Thank you! I am having a blast! ;D I love variety, I want to see what it all looks & cabs like!!!! I broke the malachite when I was wrapping it. Dropped it on the floor. But I like the new shape better & it was easier to wrap! I will take a picture when the sun comes back! There has been absolutely NO sun today!!!!

wow donnie you wild and crazy lady...... They are all nice, but i'm also not too sure about the Onyx, looks fractured and not as good of a shine as the rest. Rocky Butte for sure.... I have tons of that from tony. lol loving the pretty agate. Almost looks like a dryhead design.

I had seen some pics of the onyx on ebay & it looked pretty neat. I did some research on it & found out that it was a difficult material to work with. I bought a small slab, it was not stabilized. The pieces I cut from it are now waiting for me to do just that one of these days. Then I bought another slab that was stabilized & that's what this piece is from. The slab was thick & I don't dare try to make it any thinner so I will work with what I have. It's only o.k., I will probably not buy anymore!
