In between a zillion other things, I managed to squeeze in some cabbing here and there. I have some wonderful material to preform and dop up. These are things that have been in a pile forever and needed to get done.
Terrible picture, but I decided to show it anyway. This is Rosalinda or cinnamonstone. Don't see too many white stones. It cuts about like onyx. Contrary to popular belief, this does not contain mercury.

A pretty ugly brown blue bone. Nicely agatized but missing great color. Hey, I take em where I can get em anymore.

This was from a real ugly chunk I had. I should have taken the before picture, it would make this look more impressive. LOL! This is freeform almost the shape of the piece.

This is a rework. It had more dendrites and potch. I recabbed it so the bezel would pretty much cover any problems. The color is fabulous.

An unimpressive pietersite freeform. I find that people want these, no matter what they look like. I don't really care for it- not enough chatoyancy.

I have a new love for these. Olympic poppy jasper. There's a few unavoidable pits in this, but it sure does look like a lovely field of flowers.

Kokoweek cave onyx. Looks better in person. A freeform saw scrap.

A really nice amethyst sage - lots of purple chalcedony

A real showy tiger iron

Now that these are out of the way, I can start work on something else.
Thanks for looking.
