I haven't been able to get any cabbing done is weeks. Ugh. So, I busted a few out in the last few days. Sonora sunrise. I like it both ways.
A few of these were preforms that I got from stardiamond in a box I purchased from him. This is luna agate. 
Another one- blue mountain. So Glossy! 
Another- Morgan Hill Poppy 
and another MHP 
A big Turkish blue lace onyx Much better in person and the polish is insane. 
Moroccan- Apple Valley I guess. 
small Atlantisite 
I believe this is chrysocolla and shattuckite in quartz. 
I got some cotton candy agate as a freebie from eBay. This little piece broke off. 
A stellar Deschutes. This is MUCH better in person with a perfect polish, big, too. 
gembone 
gold moss and druzy 
I guess I'll just call this graveyard point since the technical name escapes me. 
small hard chrysocolla 
Probably my favorite. I had a really sweet slab, this came from the center. Big cab.  
nipomo marcasite 
orpheus agate- much nicer in person. This is big. 
peanut wood 
A mystery plume agate- Do you know what it is? 
A small and very chatoyant seraphinite. 
Thanks for looking.  |

Wow! I can't say that I like them all equally, but it's way too hard to choose with this excellent bunch!

Lots of great ones. I like the Senora with he green on the bottom.
The one you said was your favorite reminds me of a certain type of mushroom that grows on the sides of trees here. Do you know what the material is?

Great set of cabs. The gembone is my favorite. Could the graveyard be regency rose?

A few? You call that a few?  That's a sh*t load of great cabs!
The Mushroom is my favorite out of all of them, but it was a tough decision.

Jeez, Tela, all so beautiful.
Very nice work, I can't even pick a favorite!
I will say the first one makes me want a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone, however! 😁

Beautiful set! I especially like the composition on the mushrooms but I'm a sucker for the mystery plume agate even if I can't help you on the ID.
