The box has been sent to rads. I included a piece of Charoite, Royal Sahara Jasper and St. John's Flower Agate to replace the broken pieces and the slab I cut the stone from.  |

Just a heads up. Both my wife and I are over 60 and have been basically isolated for the last two weeks. When the box arrives, it will be put in a UV box for a day and then the contents will be also UV treated before I post pictures.
We are just being as cautious as possible right now. In the same light......I'm bored and am looking forward to seeing what Robin has created (and the contents of the box).
It may slow the box a lil bit.....if the group disagrees, I will just send it forward to the next in line. We all have to look at how long this virus is able to live on surfaces like cardboard. It will leave here disinfected either way it goes.

Thank you, rads! Hope you enjoy it.
I think you can take your time with the box. Everybody understands the caution necessary.

Gorgeous! That's not an easy material to deal with and you knocked it out of the park  |

Thanks, Tommy. It has a few of the typical pits in the brown stuff, but otherwise it behaved quite well. |

Well, I did open the box and treated everything this afternoon. Completely shocked by the quality of slabs to choose from, hoping I can match the stunning cab that I received from Robin to send on to the next person. Now for the photos......These photos were taken outdoors and give an idea of the polish that is on this cab of "Blue Needles Agate" Perfectly done, kudos to you Robin.  In the gift box. Robin, that is beautiful! Lucky you, rads ! |

this cab of "Blue Needles Agate" LOL! Did I write it like that on the little zip lock? My dyslexia strikes again! In addition, it took me this long to notice it.  |

Yep , I actually had to Google it because I had never seen a piece in person. You were correct......it gave me a match to what you sent. Staring at a pile of beauty......looking for inspiration this morning. |

That's funny. It's actually called Needles Blue. I do have a small bit of dyslexia and I'll switch words like that. I usually catch it when I do stuff like that. Not this time, I guess.

Gorgeous cab! You did a fantastic job Robin! To everyone, this is just for us, and safety first, so if you need more time, we're all understanding about that, especially now~

OMG what a gorgeous cab! I'm starting to get nervous about who is after me.... You're the last one at the moment, so it will go back to deedolce when you finish. Don't be nervous about anything! Your cab will be awesome.
Everyone's cabs so far have been beautiful and inspiring. You just take your time and do what you love doing and it all just happens.  |
