Roy those are gorgeous! I really like all the turquoise cabs, but that last cab pictured has a beautiful landscape/trees captured!  |

Your cabs are outstanding!
I was at a rock shop on Saturday and thought I would buy my wife some rock that I cannot self collect. I remembered to get her a sample of topaz. After seeing your cabs, I now realize/recognize that her absolute favourite is turquoise and I won't have time to go back before Christmas. Whoops.

It would make my wife happy, which would make me happy. I will send you a PM |

I've never worked turquoise but seems it usually is hard to polish. Your material must be A+++ to get a shine like that.
Beautiful set Roy!
