I sent the whole day cabbing. It was pure bliss, but now my hands are sore.

I did a lot of agates. They tend to wear my hands down.

Crazy lace from Wampidy 36x25

Moss Agate from Susan24224 32mm

smokey quartz also from Susan

45x28

New sponge agate aka Mexican Lavender from Durango 45x27. I love this! Really hard and takes a great polish.

Turkish Jade 37x22 This was difficult to polish, but I got a decent shine. I have a lot of different varieties of this. This one is more grayish purple.

A little piece of webbed chrysoprase 31x18. (drool worthy)

Beautiful chevron amethyst from Susan. (Thank you Susan

42x22

I did an ochoco tube agate, also from Susan, that refused to be photographed, too.

I have my blanks picked out for tomorrow already and I can't wait. ;D

Thanks for looking.

I always like the lace agates but I really liked that chevron cab too. chuck

The lace pattern is nice, but the orientation and the negative space is super.

I do not do them justice like you do. Of course it is my favorite but all of them are up to your high standards. Jim
