Okay lets see the first three are a 13.35 ct quartz i faceted .. you dont wanna know how long this took ... 19.5 hours ..
NEXT !!!! not thinking back .. Flowering onyx slabs ..sooner than later should get on on ebay under Slabidary !!!
next the coolest smokey quartz crystal i bought in Tucson with white rutilated .. Iam hoping if i cut the bottom where i drew a red line it will cab a cats eye .. we will see
next is an rth trade slab cab .. meaning probably a year or so ago i got this slab in a trade from someone on rth ... how cool is that face ? i forget who you are but thank you !!!! it did go to good use !!! I finally cabbed it ..
the next three is a commission piece .. of self collected garnet from Roxbury CT in a 925 ring .. i wish i could keep it but it was a custom order .. and i need money ...l0l
last but not least trillion sunstone oregon ... thanks enjoy and happy late fathers day !!!!!!

I couldn't be prouder of ya. Is that first cut a Simple Jack? Cool face on the cab and the Sunstone is incredible. Sell that ring, you'll make another for yourself. Jo

The garnet ring is gorgeous!! How many carats is it? I used to collect faceted garnets, but they are a rather expensive hobby, so just collect garnet minerals.

Love the faceted quartz (big un!) and the sunstone!

The rutilated smoky quartz is really cool, especially the silver rutilated needles.

Looking forward to seeing it cabbed.

that garnet is roughly 17.5 cts I did make another smaller ring as well .. not as showey and has natural fractures throughout the garnet which is very typical for these garnets( Greens garnet Farm CT ) .I was in shock this one came out without any fractures in it .. .. still a nice one though , sterling 10 mm round .. size 8.5 which is for sale .. if any has interest i would take a pic ..

Just the learning curve would be beyond me. Beautiful stuff, all of it. Jim

One facet takes no patience at all.
