As always, excellent and very creative work. Did you self-collect that pink Texas Springs cast? I have some just like it that I dug long ago. What in the world is that last cab? It's spectacular and I've never seen anything like it.

Ed- you're a poet with words. Maybe you should take up rapping and wrapping.  You guessed them all. Bumble bee, azurite malachite and lace. The lace was an experiment. I never made the scallop edge before. Next time, I will make it smaller. |

It's spectacular and I've never seen anything like it. Thanks! I have never self collected anything.... sadly, there's nothing near me to collect. I live at an East Coast beach. Not even the mountains here have much... well maybe some unakite, which I don't like. I think your thinking that the lace is pink limbcast? I did have a beautiful large cab of it but I sold it already. The azurite with malachite is phenomenal isn't it? I didn't cab it, I bought it. It's all natural and as nice in person. I love it. |

Miscommunication on my part Tela. It's the pink limb cast used as background for your Bumblebee wrap. A well-known location for those is Texas Springs, NV.
The azurite-malachite cab is really unusual. I've seen and cut quite a bit of that material from various locations but have never seen any with a polka-dot pattern. Copper minerals are beautiful and full of many surprises.

Copper minerals are beautiful and full of many surprises. I see I'm not really sure where the limbcast came from. A dear friend gave me a few pieces of limbcast years ago, before I started cabbing or really collecting. I have lost the notes. He sent quite a few pretty pieces of wood and a bunch of halved geodes. Some rare ones, too, but again I lost the notes.  My friend has passed away so I guess I'll never know. Yes, I was immediately attracted to the azurmalachite as it is so unusual. The price was great, so I had no choice but to buy it. I was forced, I tell ya. |

Stu LOL- with a little practice- you'll be another eminem. If you want to hear something really terrible.... just listen to my DH try to rap. Awesomely funny! If you look closely at #2, the top has wires pulled down and the whole right side has wire over the face. It is a really tight wrap and the sides are slanted which means the stone is held in very well. #3 has the loops on the bottom. The wrap is very tight and the girdle is slanted/angled so the stone can not fall out. All of my wraps are very tight and very, very secure. I'm kinda anal abt that. |

Really like the scallops on one side, super design detail! You're my role model for wire wrapping |
