With 30 or so dremel cabs currently in pre polish in the lot o i got busy working on more new ones. Did these 5 yesterday- Self collected unknown river gravel-  Mexican crazy lace-  Blue lace-  Pietersite- pockets not deep enough for high grade pietersite but got a small slabbette of ow grade stuff for like $7 on ebay. Golden area only chatoyant area on this cab  Moroccan Agate- really liked this piece until I cropped the photo just now to post and realized there is a fracture on top half of cab...  That's all for now, but got a dozen or so preforms knocked out yesterday as well so hopefully will get some more knocked out this week. Thanks for looking! |

Very, very nice. The first one you mention is unknown river gravel. Is that from one of your San Jacinto hounding trips? I seem to recall you mentioning that before. If so, maybe I'll have to break into my MFRB of that material that was sent to me a while ago.  |

If That mfrb was from txrockhunter then I'm sure it's worth opening as he seemed to have very good eye for hounding the San Jacinto gravels. |

Excellent cabs! My favorite is the Pietersite, I think. Having just that one chatoyant area really makes it pop.

The fracture in your Moroccan looks like it could be internal, and doesn't appear to break the surface. Not a problem - it's a great cab.

I love that pietersite too. Looks like it's got a flame dancing around it!

It was first time working with Pietersite and it's easy on the dremel and definitely unique material. Cant justify taking a dremel to a slab of the high grade stuff but sure would like to! |

I'm hoping it is internal but if not I cant complain as i got the slab for a steal of a price at $1 off ebay! Should be able to get a cpl more cabs out of the rest of the slab too. |
