These all look great! I think you've got the hang of it.
The only thing I would say is that you don't need to spread the bail ears as far as you have in some of them.
I really love the Tiger Eye and the Labradorite (?) with the embellishment!

Gorgeous! My favorite is the second one pictured. I was just perusing older cab threads and remember seeing you post a bunch of these as cabs - that second one in particular...now they're getting posted as wraps! Really awesome!  |

Not sitting in the shoebox anymore. That one's my favorite as well. It's a piece of larvikite that had some nice big grains in it. |

I couldn't remember the name of it and didn't want to go searching through all the threads again to try and find the name! LOL You're doing a great job on these. I like the Larvikite the best because of the swoop going down the front of the stone that you added. I think that makes it really looks sharp. Don't tell anyone, but I just ordered a Gryphette this morning...along with a jewelers bit... |

These are all very pretty! I am not sure how I missed your post before. My favorite one is the rock that looks like it has fire in it. I am not sure what kind of rock that is. Let's see it is the 7th one. I think some of these look like fossils too. They are neat wraps. And I like the ones that have little accents to them like #2. It makes a big difference I think.

That 7th one is noreena Jasper. The chunk I slabbed had a ton of fractures and ended up with a lot of little pieces. Literally just finished a little cab of that this afternoon. Good timing, will try to post it later. The number 2 accent was actually an accident, but I also like how it turned out and need to do more of it. |
