Nice variety--I especially like the surprises--are they destined to be cabs?

Awesome slabettes! You know, you could always cab them with a dremel rotary tool like I do. It's sort of time consuming, but it works :-)

I tried to do it on the saw and then I will tumble them you can see it in pic #4 but I need more practice. I have one in the tumbler now and when I recharged yesterday it looked good it's a bit on the small size these here are bigger.

Nice cuts Tammy! It sure is fun to cut your own stones to get to see what is inside.
