These are some cabs I made / finished over the weekend. The first is a nice little Tiger Iron. I really like working with this stone. It is a nice easy to shape to and polish. I think thi is Regency Plume agate. I love the gold moss in this stone. These next two are Laguna Lace. They are re-cuts of an even larger cabs I made a few months ago. Both of the originals had small fractures in them. This last is a Montana agate. I posted a photo of it earlier this month. I managed to finish it today and it didn't break, which I had been concerned about. I wish I had photographed the slab before I cut this one. I think this is my favorite cab that I have cut. I also am not going to lie, this shape was a bugger to cut & polish lol. There are a few small scratches near the center I am going to need to work on.. Thanks for looking! Roger

Very nice! Excellent work and materials. At first I couldn't believe the last stone was a Montana: the colors in the first image reminded me more of Condor. But the last image shows colors more in line with what I expect from Montana. Nice one!

I know what you mean. My camera is my worst critic. Many of my agate/jasper cabs get tossed in the vibe tumbler after seeing pesky little scratches show up in the photos. Great set of cabs. nice job.
