These all have a little bit to go and of course they still need polished, but here's what I've been up to. I think this is a little piece of Black Plume Agate that I had laying on my bench but I'm not 100% on that...  And this one, not sure what it is. I took a pic in the sun just because I liked the clear parts.   Finally a Teepee Canyon. My son cut the "slab" which was more of a triangular chunk. I wanted to show that first. Thanks for looking!   |

Thanks Ed! For the wishes and compliments. I don't really know enough to answer about what piece of equipment...can I answer with more time or better skills?  And you know I'll keep on rockin' |

Thanks, I'm partial to Teepees also. 😁 Pretty good day, I got to get some grandson time in and now I'm taking that naughty puppy for a walk... |

I have another cab ready to go in the vibe out of that stone, it's looking awesome too. Yes, contrary to what some people might believe I don't post pics of all of my cabs I work on! I believe it came from roy in a random box of slabs. I wish I knew what it was. |

The green one looks like some type or variety of green moss agate. It looks similar to some I've seen listed as green tree agate but yours is less white. I'm also a fan of the TeePee cab.
