Ok Donnie money sent, let me know if you get it. I only ever did this once before. Hope I didna just make somebody else $26 richer out there in cyber space! LOL Could I ask one favor please, I am mostly straightened out thanks to a thread I made here on bevels, but seeing is better. Do you have a broken no good cab to include that shows a bevel. I think sometimes there is a small bevel on the bottom to help prevent chipping and a bigger bevel on the top that goes to be part of the dome. If thats right I would like to see how the sharp angle bevel goes up to form the dome, its got to decrease angle I think. I tried real high dome cabs with the rose quartz in order to get real good stars n I got lots n lots of flats! LOL Of course I am really new to holding the dop nail. Thanks n look forward to the cool rocks!

People, people, people!!!!! Got my box from Donnie today!!!! I tell you its awesomel the edge, I am a newbie so she labeled almost all the slabs for me! I have done a good bit of cabs with turqioise only and its very different from the hard rocks. Reading on here I could not for sure get a grasp on beveled edges. I asked for a broken cab showing for sure how yall bevel the edge and then change ur slope for the dome. She sent me three beautiful cabs, I mean awesome!!!! U dont get a shine like this on hardly any turquoise! Plus I would never have put a edge and dome like that. THANK YOU DONNIE!!!! I am sending you a box of rose quartz as soon as I can get someone to pack it and take it to the post office! You are a charm for my spirits woman! I have bern rockhounding with a lap tray and bowl of wster all afternoon and after supper going to look more!!!! Thanks,Bill Oh I think one cab is a pic jasper n one a agate and is the triangle one pudding stone? Sorry folks me n the trusty tablet cant do pics yet, working on learning tho.

I am happy you are happy. Now one the cabs, that's just the way I do them & they are sometimes a little different. Others do them differently with flat edge. You really will just have to do what works best for yourself.

In case anyone is wondering about the numbers on these boxes.................Number 2 was a box supposedly sold on ebay. The person never paid & never responded back to me. I had deleted a couple of the boxes off this post as they sold, plus I had added another one, so the numbers are not with the same boxes anymore. Hope this is not more confusing!!!
