Welcome 2021 with 2 awesome slabs ofΒ PSILOMELANE!!! These provided by rockjunquie, huge thanks to Tela! Get lost in the details, and forget 2020, all while staying safe! Find the cab of your dreams, mark the outline on it, and submit in this thread, along with any features you saw and want to mention.Β WALAA! ππΌππΌππΌ  7β x 3.5β  5.5β x 3.5β 2 weeks from now, Jan 16, at 5 pm CST will be closing time for entries.Β Thanks for playing!! Evan Cab That Slab Rules Cab That Slab is a contest of imagination and skill, finding a great cab in the given slab. Here are a few simple rules for the contest. Entries should be (estimated) 50 mm or less to leave room for others. The shape needs to be simple enough to create with wheels, i.e. a cabochon, not intarsia. Contest winner will choose a worthy slab picture, and (optional) prize, for the next contest. Your entry may overlap a previous entry, but needs to have a new central idea or focus. Be creative and have fun! |

I just want to say that most of the fractures you can see are healed. I can't wait to cut these! Have fun!

BTW, I don't have a good sense of size on the slab - if rockjunquie thinks I exceeded 50mm please let me know. |

Itβs been a busy holiday season so Iβm giving this a bump. I forgot to mention there will be a prize for the winning cab.
Since Ali passed her prize on last time I will put something together for this one.

Like, is it really a prize if you have to turn around and dish one out 2 month later? Lol

And glad to see you back, knave! There is this elephant in the room. Been taking kind of a mini break I guess. Itβs good for me to not post so much. Still interested in the rocks, but I havenβt been spending the time on the hobby that I would like to. Between tight funds, holidays, and all the joys of the pandemic. |

From the first slab...
A little macabre, perhaps, but once I saw the mask/face I just had to have it!

I'm really surprised that not more people are jumping to cut this up.  Don't worry about giving me ideas. I think I have a cut for every mm already planned. |
