1. Stone Canyon — This is a special cab from a Dr DG rough purchase. As I cut, an interesting pattern on the slab morphed into an abstract image of a Native American dancer in ceremonial dress. Inverted, I see an abstract image of a Native American wearing a ceremonial headdress.
2. Plume Agate — Cut from a slab from the 2020 Travelling Slabbetts box that I think was added by NDK . 3. Medicine Bow Agate — from roy . 4. Noreena — I was drawn to this cab by the gray that transitions into a pinkish blush at the bottom.
5. Unknown Agate — Unknown to me that is, it's from a catmandewe purchase.  |

Those look great Gary. You always have a way of seeing things in the stones, which is a wonderful gift! The MBA is great, and one of my favorite materials to work.

Nice work Gary. Funny how our minds are conditioned to see patterns differently. In your second Stone Canyon I see a helmeted Roman Centurion. Great cabs.

Nice work, Gary!
Wanna hear something funny?
I always "like" your posts of cabs you've made before I even look- and I'm never disappointed...

opalpyrexia Gary, what beautiful cabs! And to get the native image in both directions on the stone canyon - WOW! BTW I didn't add that plume, it must be 1 Susan had in there from the start.

My wife's father used to say that anyone who got bored driving through desert country, didn't have enough imagination. He would probably say the same thing about the rocks we work with and vicariously enjoy our avocation/vocations.
