This cab came from a small slabbete of botswana agate that my 9 yr old scored at a rock show for $1. Stay tuned to see this one wrapped in sterling silver very soon Thanks for looking Chuck

That is sweet! I love how the shape of the cab mirrors the bands of the agate, and the shine is incredible!

wow that's a beautiful cab Chuck! I'm surprised he let you cab it and didn't make you let him do it himself heehee.

Yeah Tommy I was surprised he didn't want to work on this one himself but after having a record breaking winter here the snow has all melted now and the kids are finally able to get outside so no rock shop work for them this weekend.
