Wow! beautiful pieces Herb! I like what you said about being on a 'bender' haha I feel the same way. I love Montana agates and you have done a really nice job on those.

It is funny that two people mentioned liking the tall skinny one! That piece fractured off while I was trimming the slab it was part of. I was going to chuck it as scrap, but I really liked all the moss in it, so I decide to try cabbing it. It is about 60mm tall by 15mm wide at the bottom.
I'd include a picture of the cab that resulted from the 'keeper' part of the slab, but it ended up getting sold before I could take a picture of it!

Wow, I'd also be rather obsessed with Montana Moss if I had some that looked that! All of them are beautiful.

Something breaks away and in the end turns often out better than originally planed. ;D ;D ;D For me I really like the layout on the first, twenty-second and number 30 . But my absolute favorite in the set is number six; the round one with the flame pattern.

I can see why, they are very beautiful and all different. Mother Nature's miracles of rocks :)

For me I really like the layout on the first, twenty-second and number 30 . But my absolute favorite in the set is number six; the round one with the flame pattern. The flame patterned cab (number 6) was another chance happening sort of! I original pictured it and laid it out turned counter clockwise 90 degrees. I though it looked like a mountain in the distance with some rolling hills in front or maybe a misty valley. It wasn't until I was completely done with it that I looked at it sideways and said "Holy cow! It is a flame, not a mountain!"

Wow! Endless great cabs and patterns. I can't seem to slice a Montana without a crack or flaw, and you can't seen to cut one with a flaw. Amazing work. Tony

someone told me to avoid montanas (I have a huge box from Tony). Avoid them???
Ya gotta be kidding me. Those are some of the most killer cabs anyone could desire. Wow!
