Both very nice. You've got lots of pretty cabs to choose from.

I am loving that cave onyx! Never seen it b4!!! This is the first one I've cabbed. The little slabs look insane! But, they make good cabs. I am told they are pretty rare because the place where they are found is privately owned by treasure hunters. There is a legend of a river of gold on the claim. If you go there and get permission, they'll let you look for some onyx. I believe it is in CA. |

Definitely like the blue bone, and the way you wrapped the onyx looks challenging.

That kokoweef is really nice. Yes, Mojave Desert of Cali.
The rest of your story is spot on too!
Thanks for sharing. Better to see blue bone than blue b........z

Nice done and what a patience you must have.

You must show yours! And save your first piece. It is always good to look back on to see how much you have improved. I have been doing this for about 16 years now, so you can't compare your first one to mine. I would love to see your fist piece! We all started somewhere. |

Ok then I'm more calm, but they are still amazing. You got a really elegant design. Thanks for the inspiration. |

Your wraps confuse me. They're so perfect, yet they don't look like they can possibly hold the stones! You are quite the artiste!

Am I the only one who can't view the two wire wraps posted by rockjunkie? I've been gone awhile, but hadn't had this viewing problem before. Microsoft did download Windows 10 since I was last on here, so this could be the problem.
