I had a little extra rock time last night so I worked this Plasma Agate slab that Beth fernwood was generous enough to send me.
Luckily, I was able to grind out three cabs- now they're off to the tumbler.

Thank you. It really is beautiful, I didn't get a very good picture.
I'll save that for when they're finished I guess!

Nice job on roughing those out. Those are going to be pretty!

"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."

I felt it should go to miket He is doing awesome with it. Looking forward to seeing the finished cabs.

She gets some good stuff! I still have a few rocks to cut into myself. I hope they come out as nice.

Glad someone is able to work that Plasma Agate. I love it but don't have the equipment to work any of it right now. Looks like you got the knack of working it.

Thanks for the compliment, it is some really nice stuff!
My equipment list is pretty short right now- a dremel and a rotary tumbler.

Hopefully I do it justice.
