Been a little busy but managed to get a couple done. Both cabs are 2.25" tall. First is Sugilite, bought the slab at my lunch break during our clubs rock show in March. Didn't see the healed fractures when I bought it but it turned out nice and the blues made it worth the expensive price! ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040449.jpg) This is a Mexican Flame Agate that I bought from Rodney (Rckdgr). LOVE this stuff! ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040453.jpg) Thanks for taking some of your time to look at some of mine!!! ~Krystee

Thanks Randy, Tammy and Frog!
The Sugilite had some soft spots in it which I didn't expect. Have either of you worked this before? I noticed that there is metallic in it and what's funny is that I originally picked the slab out of a Charoite bin and the owner quickly told me that this was something completely different and it wasn't supposed to be in the bin. He sold it to me anyway but I don't know much about it???

Krystee, they are both incredible. Sugilite is, well, it is always beautiful, and your skills just helped it along. I love the shape of the flame agate, as well as the superb craftsmanship!

Hi Kristee, As usual these cabs are Stu-pendous. Sugalite is one of the most beautiful stones god has created and it's vastness in color is almost unlimited. If only it were not so expensive though a piece of Gel grade in the hands of a master such as yourself would be priceless. Thatt Mexican Flame has such depth it almost jumps off the screen. Nothing like some great eye candy to start a Sunday. Thanks for the treat:) Stu

The mexican flame is stunning but even with all its beauty, it is overshadowed by that amazing sugalite! I have never seen one quite like it and you brought all that beauty out in it! Great job! Fran

The tall pointed cab is way over the top. You keep doing it over and over. Jim

Thanks everyone! Here's a picture of the slab. It cost me $20.00 but it was so pretty I just had to have it and it was basically preformed already! ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040345.jpg)
