I finally won some Crayola jasper that I could afford and some sweet OJ! Had to cab some up today. Possibly the prettiest cab I will ever do. I LOVE OJ!! A teeny tiny OJ- so sweet and pink. African Dumortierite- love this, too. Hard to find, though. I just got enough to last me forever. This is the first I've done. It orange peels. Had to use the lightest touch on the Novas. I won a small piece of crayola jasper and the seller sent a really jacked up slice for free with it which I got this out of. I wish I had gotten a picture of the blank. I'm really proud of myself on this one. Got two slabs of this. This is the worst of the lot. Yes, it is that awesome! Have never heard of Belvade jasper before, but I won't forget it now that I've seen it. This was sold as very old stock. This is some kind of probable agate as hard as it is. I have no clue what it is, but it looks fibrous and cool in person. Came in a won box from slabcabber, unmarked. Thanks for looking I'm super stoked about the big 40x30mm OJ.

Yep I'd have to agree with the rest of the bunch...that 1st OJ has super wow factor! Probably one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. Love the shape you went with and how you framed the design so perfectly. Great set of cabs! steve

Thanks y'all! ;D I tell ya- I got an itty bitty slab off eBay on that OJ. I was broken hearted when I got it and it was broken in half. Then I saw the sweet spot in one half and it was alllll good! The other half has a pretty good cab in it, too. Can't wait to get to it. I think I am officially addicted to cabbing. LOL!
