Thanks! I should have put something on for a size comparison too, these are fairly small so might try a groove wrap at some point.

Really nice cabs! I can't decide between #1 and #3 for a favorite.

"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 think my favorite is one...or two...or three...or four!

Great job on these!

I did two different cabs for the contest and can't decide if I want to contribute either one. LOL - One is a Crinoidal Limestone and the other is a Turritella. I love this stuff when it works out. I had some of the ones I worked develop pits or fractures...but when it doesn't, it's so beautiful!

No need to “should” on yourself. The snails themselves provide a rough size guide.

Nice work on those
