Enjoyed a productive day cabbing today. These first are from some triangular slab trimmings I had been hanging onto. Rhyolite & Opal - Opal Butte Oregon - the opal veins in this cab turned out to have a firey flash in bright light. Rhyolite & Opal - Opal Butte Oregon Lapis Lace - Turkey Chrysoprase - Queensland Australia Malachite / Azurite - I think this is from Moerenci Arizona Sonora Sunset / Crimson Cuprite - these are going to be earrings and a pendant I am making for a friend. Gaspeite - Western Australia - This is from a slab Tela ( rockjunquie ) sent me (thanks again Tela!) Ocean Jasper - Madagascar Ocean Jasper - Madagascar Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a great week

Those opals are really cool. Some day I'll get out west for some hounding & finding an opal vein would be so cool. Wonderful set of cabs Roger!

@roger
Great cabs. I really like your freeforms. I need to try that instead of using templates all the time.
