After my hard drive crashed, I was consumed by computer issues and didn't cab for 2 weeks. I think I might have made up for it.
Sorry some of the pictures are big.
Not sure, but I think this is Wingate. Even has some black druzy.
rocky butte 
oj 
roan leopard marble stone- I love this stuff, a new fav 
Indonesia stick agate 
gemmy as hell pietersite 
tiffany stone scrap 
really cool Aussie red jasper ad quartz- this one looks like red rhodochrosite 
Nice chrysocolla, cuprite and malachite 
agua nueva 
Andean pink opal - I took it to the 14000 and BURNED it. Yes, it got hot and dry and turned white and rough. I had to go back to 220 and work it out. Super pink! Sun washed out the color a bit. 
WHOA! Imperial Aussie rhodonite. Incredible. Unfortunately it has an interior fracture that shows through. But, man is it stunning! 
amazonite 
shattuckite and dioptase 
ruby in fuchsite 
primordial stone- finishes like Indian Paint Stone. It's really growing on me. 
Can't cab without doing a rhodochrosite 
willow creek 
sonora sunrise- really red and bright blue! 
morgan hill poppy jasper  |

Holy spit, you cranked them out! Lovely bunch of cabs, but that gem rhodo is absolutely killer!

You’ve definitely been busy. I really like the pietersite, it is quite interesting.

Ridiculous, could maybe come up with a top 5. The Rhodonite may have a fracture but it is still sensational.

Always love your stuff, Tela. The best wrapper I’ve ever seen...and can cab like that? Just don’t seem fair. 😉 Sonoran has my vote. Great set!!

Thanks everyone! I always miss it when I don't cab and then cab every second I can.
That rhodonite is from stardiamond. I have another small piece of it. I can't wait to cab it. I wish y'all could see it in person. It polishes like glass. The light goes right into it, too, causing an awesome raspberry glow. I felt privileged just to work with it. Mother Nature is truly awesome. |

I totally love that Sonoran! Can you please explain how you know something is "gemmy" it's one of those terms I just can't pin down to a good definition.

I know I use it to denote something that is better than usual. That sonoran has really bright saturated color with all 3 colors and a red that is more red than orange = gemmy, to me.  |

Very nice variety there. Makes my cabbing efforts seem fruitless.

I was ready to say that the gemmy as hell pietersite was my favorite, but the further down I went the more I couldn't decide. Some of the best cabs/material I've seen on here, great job! And I'm with accidentalrockhound -I think I'll just quit posting the stuff I make that I call cabs.  |
