Well it's been awhile since I posted anything but my big mouth!! LOL... So I thought I would put up my most recent batch of cabs for your viewing pleasure!! My camera was pitching a fit today and wouldn't take a decent photo to show the shine on some of these. I may re-post a few if I get the camera working better. Enjoy!! bottom left square is Jade. unfortunately the top right one broke as I pulled it off the dop. another view of the Obsidian to show its lines this one is going into the hat band of a cowboy hat for a friend of mine. A little of the sunrise de la wampidy' !! or as my friend put it..."it's italian sausage rock!" Blue Quartz Free form that the photo does not do justice to the look & shine on this piece! This cab is small and about 3mm thick at the center... a piece of scrap that I figured... what the heck. Mini Star Trek Emblem in Dalmatian Jasper Not sure what this is, but, the light spots aalong the right side wouldn't take a shine and the rest of it is mirror bright! Well that's it... took me all of about a month to make these, as weather permitted (the sunshine state is flooding!! what irony!! LOL) Thanks for looking!!

Awesome batch of cabs Mario! That picture jasper will look great on your buddy's hat. Really like the obsidians and that Star Trek jasper! I believe the last unknown is birdseye rhyolite.

nice to see the Dalmatian getting worked. The orbicular one looks like a Mexican birdseye rhyolite.

Birdseye Rhyolite??? heard of it but never had any so that's cool.l thanx everyone.... I hope to post more as the weather is cooling off more now with all the rain, and as long as there are no T-Storms I can go out to my shed to work. I have about 40 more in various stages so hopefully I'll have some more soon. good cabs mario ! hows it been?havnt heard from you in awhile I've been good Roy, in some pain, but good... knee is acting up, mostly from having to deal with hip problem, and trying to balance my sugar levels through it ll is a nightmare unto itself!! But as long as I get off my duff and get moving, I seem to be ok. I keep going to your site and looking at the picture of the OB pile, thinking someday it will be mine!!! LOL How you been ??

Pretty. Stay well That, my dear, is Inca Agate. The banding is light and very pleasing to the eye.... I'll try to get a better pic without the reflection. Thank You all for your kind words... it is, as always, appreciated very much!!
