So many rocks, so little time. I can't believe that being semi-retired leaves me so little free time...of course it might be all the things I put off when I wasn't retired.

I finally got a few cabs finished. Here they are:

Two totally different plumes from the Walker Ranch...

Condor Agate, from a slab that was cut from a hollow nodule...

Moroccan Seam Agate, cut the wrong way

Plumey flame agate from Mexico

And some multi-colored Sonora Plume (Mexico also). I was lucky to get some of this from Pat McMahon this year at Quartzsite

All for now, but lots more in the works....eventually... (tumbleweed)

Craig my antenna goes up when I see you create a post in the cabochon area because I know we're gonna be treated so some serious agate plumage goodies. You never disappoint

I'm not even going to try to pick a favorite - but the last three are just off the charts... and the second one, holy moley!

Stunningly beautiful cabs! That flame and the Sonoran .... (passout)

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis
