I can see it, too.

Good luck everyone! These big honkin' cabs are not easy to produce and y'all did a fabulous job.

Kicking this up to the top so whoever hasn't voted can get their vote in before it closes.

Congratulations @jadedvision on another stunning cabochon and a landslide contest win! Your creation is so unique and beautiful that honestly I think it warrants a "how the heck did he do that" tutorial! No pressure though haha

All - as a contest side note I'm going to be on the road very long hours today and tomorrow so I will get the contest wrapped up and the original posts returned by Thursday morning at the soonest.

Very well done, @jadedvision !

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the compliment!
I’ve got to say that your cabbing (and wrapping) have been catching my attention lately. I voted for that coral last month, and thought it was one of the nicest cabs you’ve cut.

You're welcome, it was well-deserved!

And thanks, I appreciate it!

I'm still having fun and enjoying this hobby- and I guess that's all that matters.
