Here's my latest efforts: Feather agate Pinolith - some of this can be tricky. The cab is nice and thick, but the point broke off anyway. hypersthene- Not really sure how to cab this stuff, yet. This was a high dome cab, but the flash pattern wouldn't show. It does after it was flatlapped, though. Call this an experiment. Pitty Peruvian pink opal. The pits popped up after I started. Sad. Super cool pattern on champagne agate. Much nicer in person. red and green moss agate Gem bone- I had no idea this was as nice as it is. The rough was dead as hell looking. Well, yeah, I guess it would be. Duh. some kind of plume agate polka dot agate in blue ice. some more of that cool champagne agate a super nice gem bone. The red is as bright as can be and the dark almost looks like hematite. Very cool. Thanks for looking DH is going to take my youngest grandson to see Godzilla tomorrow, so I might get in some cabbing. I don't like to do it when he is home.

All very cool cabs. Love dino bone, but the second champagne agate is killer. I have a soft spot for cabs with a little pocket of crystal in the middle.

Great set. I choose the Pinolith just to be different. I like the nonsymetrical shape, it adds even more interest.

You've been busy. Most of those are new to me - one of the many reasons this is so much fun! The hypersthene is very interesting looking. All are so beautiful, I'm in awe!
