So, thanks to all of you in the other thread, I got my wheels switched around. I think there is still some problem with the last wheel, though. I'll look into it tomorrow. A few of these are from the other day and I forgot to take a picture of another really sweet bloodstone. I repolished 5 today and cut 5. I was having so much fun that I wasn't paying enough attention and got a few wonky shapes- easily fixed though. So, here they are. Pacific coast picasso bloodstone Unknown agate- ANY CLUES? It's so beautiful. I got this little piece from deserthound in a box of assorted stuff. A small oj and attempt to fix a circle. Kinda of squished now. Amazonite Moss agate- probably from a thunderegg. A beautiful large OJ already spoken for Large youngite with a few little druzy pockets Tabu tabu - this and the other one here started out much differently. The thick slab was full of hidden fractures. Oh well, I really love this stuff anyway. OJ with lots of druzy. Very cool. Sorry for the big pics- had my settings wrong- This is a Texas Springs limb cast (pink chalcedony) It polished so beautifully. This is 42x33mm. I had a REALLY big piece. GYP from Tommy. This is so much nicer in person and it has marcasite- I love it when that happens. A really wonky mushroom jasper rhyolite another tabu tabu. This is the shape I ended up with. I like it. A gorgeous pietersite. t has a section of clear agate or quartz in the bottom with magnified gold pietersite under it. Awesome! I need to fix the shape a little. Todays last cab. Dino bone. I was getting tired. This is a freeform gone wrong. I'll fix it next time gene is out. Thanks for looking- and thanks for putting up with my pictures and wonky cabs.

Very hard to pick a favorite out of all them lovely cabs, but the Pieterite really makes you look twice...Great job as always, i think you could cab asphalt and make it look good...take care and thanks for sharing and mentioning my rocks.

Great set, I especially like the tabu x 2, but they are all top-shelf.

The pietersite has a phenomenal scene! and the unknown a beauty! Put your limb cast in low light, and let me know if you see a change. Thanks.
