Thought I'd share some more dremel cabs I've been working on. These 7 are added to the ever growing pile of dremel cabs ready for the lot o. Without further ado... Ghost agate - slab was listed as such, believe it's a variation of Moroccan agate.  Brazilian agate- think it's the biggest cab I've done with dremel. Tried to avoid fractures but failed as theres one on right side toward the middle. Oh well..  Green goldstone- pic doesnt capture the sparkle well. Daughter wants me to make her a 4 leaf clover out of material so this was just to practice on material. Also told daughter she has way overestimated my abilities lol.  Red green blanket- know(now) it doesnt polish well but it's fun to work with dremel.  Little piece of unknown rock-  Maury mountain Moss- pretty happy with the shape on this one. Most my ovals I'm not too fond of..  Lastly, Marra Mamba- my favorite of the bunch, maybe of all I've done. Two pics to try and show the flash of it. Daughter is in love with it as well..   Thanks for looking! And as always any input, advice opinions welcome! |

Looking good! I think the green goldstone picture turned out great. Gotta love that stuff, even if it's glass. I think my favorite is the Maury Mountain.
Looking forward to seeing them finished.

Amazing results on them all. Really love the Green Goldstone and the Marra Mamba. You’ve had a lot of great looking stuff and I’d love to know where you’re getting your material from?

I believe it is 2 "r's". It comes from the Marra Mamba Iron Formation of the Hamersley Group in Western Australia.

Lately I've gotten several slabs off ebay. Esciguy is name of seller I got most of the slabs from. Also has a website ddrockshop.com but slabs are more expensive than what I've been getting from him on ebay. I've been lucky enough to pick up several slabs for cpl bucks a piece. However, his last auctions are 3-22-20 and then is transferring his inventory to another seller whose name I forgot. Any other material I've used has either been self collected from river gravel or from a rock sale a cpl hours from where I live. |

The Maury is great, but I know the Marra Mamba picture doesn't due it justice
