Well, from this week. Oh, "talkingstones" twisted my arm to post these ;D lol..... This is a porcelian jasper, either Imperial or Willow Creek I think, gift slab from Dave "dbrealityrocks". He sends me the good stuff ;D This material is even more amazing in person!! Crazy lace, another gift slab from Dave.... And another from Dave, Sonora dendritic jasper. This stuff is cool!! A beautiful Graveyard plume agate from Roy...... Graveyard plume agate from Stu, this one has awesome plumes of pyrite..... Unknown plume agate from Ebay, it's on fire! ;D Can't remember where I got this, pretty sure it's another ebay find... Marcasite in agate from Ed "stoner", I'd like another ton of it! Tiffany stone from Jo "naturenut", this stuff is sweet!! Sheep Creek plume agate from a larger chunk that I got from the local rock shop a few years ago.... Ocean jasper from Ebay (mtminerals, aka "Astrogallery of Gems), best shine on OJ that I've seen!! Obsidian from old board member "James", he was the king of tumbling on here years ago..... Silified wonderstone, I wish I could remember who sent this one!! This is also a wonderstone that shined up unlike any I've ever cabbed..... How did I do? ;D lol ....thanks for looking

You make me wanna fire up Gene ;D Very inspiring beauty.
Had the mother in law over all day. Not that I don't care for her, but I wanted so many times to just say- leave already! I was itching to cab and now it's too late... but, anyway, Randy- you da Man! These are awesome!

You did good Randy , REAL GOOD!!
What a varied assortment of cabs each one nicer than the other. That unknown plume that you git from Ebay was really on fire and It was nice to see some more cabs out of the Graveyard. Why does that not sound right? LOL Stu

WOW, that crazy lace in the second picture is outstanding!! I'm definately going to get my hands on some of that for my next tumble. Good job. Can't even imagine how incredible any of them would look wire wrapped.
