Congratulations EricD ! Your gorgeous thunderegg moss agate cabochon has won the contest and rightfully so. In a crowded field of beautiful cabochons your piece has it all including a gorgeous dome and girdle which I know from experience on that material is not easy to accomplish.

Thanks Tommy. I actually tried something different on this one because of it's size.

I worked from the center out to the girdle instead of the other way around like I usually do. I liked it for this huge cab. It let me ease into the girdle line in stead of grinding the girdle line first.
