First one from the cabs that I finished yesterday, Agua Nueva Agate. Thoughts and comments are appreciated, thanks for looking!

Beautiful! I love that backlit photo!
Based on your pictures, that sure does look like a neat material to work with!

That cab came out really nice! I like the wrap, too. Doesn't distract from the stone at all.

Nice material and good looking wrap Mike!  When my wife asks me why I needed this "new material" called Agua Neuva, all fingers will be pointing at you my friend! LOL |

If we get some sun tomorrow I'll see if I can show it better. Glad you like the wrap. I purposely did the bottom two bends in different spots. I wasn't sure if it was going to look nice but I'm pleased with it.  |

I'm assuming you've already done an image search, some of this stone has some really great colors and fortifications. Point away and then show her some of those. Then she'll probably ask why you haven't ordered any already!  |

Very pretty, Mike! I like the Agua Nueva and the wrap a lot. Thanks Robin! I might have been able to snip those two front wires off, the more I look at it the more I think that they're not really adding anything to the piece...maybe I could just tighten the curls up a little. |

Good job, Mike! Nice stone, wonderful cab, great wrap.
I like that little green pocket to the lower left. Something to draw your eye to.

I think tightening them up a little would be good. They are a little "loose". |

Great job on the cab and the wrap. I agree with Robin, tightening up the curls would make it look better.
