So I really do try not to post every single cab I work on, even if it seems otherwise...

This is the first time I've worked Moroccan Seam Agate, I got a chunk of it from El JeffA and this is from the first slab that I cut off of it last night.

I think it will turn out nice, I tried to save the druzy.

Thanks for looking.

That's going to be a really pretty cab when it's finished. Love the druzy pocket!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I like it, too.

Hopefully I'll get 4 cabs or so out of what he sent.

Mike...we seriously love seeing every single piece you're willing to post on here! Seriously!!!

Love the druzy pocket!!! I get excited when I see a slab with a pocket that seems like it's going to work out in a cab!

Really good choice on the shape of the cab also.

The red snaking through with the druzy pocket is so cool! That snake has a sparkly eye.

Thanks my friend!
I was only able to get 3 more slabs from the piece but I'm going to tumble the end cut.
