Big variety of color. I finished a big run last week and figured a video would be faster than pics ;D I rarely get a chance to share my work, so I thought I would catch up! I hope you enjoy Carleton

oh, and if you get motion sick, I apologize, I was trying to capture the flash, it can be hard when the cabs are laying still.

Wow, Carleton! how long did it take you to do all of these? there's some real beauties in there, like that oval in the center of the tray with the purple flash. you sure have some of the best labradorite I've seen.

Thanks Don, Time? It was a little under a power week (7 days, 14-16 hours/day) We tossed in some old stock, so that is a guess. I think the time to slab the rough and properly calibrate the flash takes as long as the actual cabbing. Here is quick shot of the slabs we ran. I think we went through about two baskets. Carleton

Carlton, those are beautiful! Lab is one of my all time favorites for wearing! I think the thing I love most about it is that it reeeeaaally messes with people's heads! The flash can really be unsettling to some. lol! In any event, congratulations on this beautiful work!!!

Thanks for all the kind words, Was the finishing done in a vibe or on the sticks?.....Mel Mel, these were all done on sticks, here is a shot of the AA's after polish. Love them! Gotta get back around to mine . . . Dude your making me ill. I have a house to sell and no set up to work with rocks till we move. Somebody buy my house so I can cab ! Those are really nice. I am looking forward to seeing both of your works! Your rough should yield some good color. I hope you guys share too. Best of luck with the sale! Carleton

Gorgeous Cabs! But you do know they've come a long way with treatments for OCD these days don't you?

Holy bleep that's a lot of cabs! It'd take me a couple of months to do that many. Really nice work. Don't know what I'd ever do with that many cabs of one rock but I don't really sell.
