The slab:

I didn't cut out a preform as I used the entire slab for my cab. Here is the cab after the 180 disk (BOTTOM RIGHT):

And the cab,

last second entry,

Had to leave for the day and just got back in time to post.

Another Labradorite. Yep, the slab pic was taken after the cut.... I got a bit rushed and forgot to snap one so I tried to make up for that

Some of the most exotic variety to come out of Madagascar. Has a nice spectrum and a rare silver color in the upper right corner. This had a lot of cleaves and inclusions to work with and was a thin outer slab so it features a low dome.

Slab:

Pre form:

Cab:

I am really enjoying how tough the comp is getting, the bar seems to just keep rising. Great cabs from everyone!
