Thanks Chad! There was a lot of material this week that wasn't "perfect"...but I'm blaming the material! LOL That Kambaba really turned out great...for what I've been able to get out of it in the past. I love the pattern in #19. And yes...I saw that face in #12...it reminded me of Groot! LOL  |

I see you have properly dirtied up the new cabber! Well done!
What’s going on in the orbs of #11? Are they druzy pockets or fully filled with transparent rock?

There's not a favorite in the bunch,
since they are all just so, wow. I
am impartial to green rocks though.
You've really got the shine down
to perfection.

Nothing better than a dirty piece of equipment...well...you know what I mean! LOL Those orbs are not hollow. They're "tubes"...I'm assuming where the larvae was supposed to be located...or that's just what it looks like. LOL 100% on Groot, almost called that out lol  (Isn't it funny the things we see...that plus the fact we can recognize a comic book character! LOL Nice cabs jasoninsd ! Super shiny and well shaped. I like the thunderegg slab background as well. Thanks Perk! That slab is my "standard" background! LOL - Maybe I need to venture out a little. Great job!!! I love a bunch of them! Really can't choose. Well done! Thanks Craig! I'm with you on this batch...I kinda like them all! LOL Great work, my friend! Fantastic material, cabs and polish. I like 1-19 the best! 😁 Jeez, I don't even know why I bother...  First...thanks my friend! Second...there's several reasons why you bother. You love working rocks and creating something amazing. You create cabs with equipment that NO ONE else on the forum works with and you do it very well. You're biding your time until you get that arbor fully functioning! |

Jason why did you photograph these all wet? Oh wait that's the master shine you got on them!! Good work! I read the first sentence, and I was like, "Wait...what?" LOL Thank you so much! There's not a favorite in the bunch, since they are all just so, wow. I am impartial to green rocks though. You've really got the shine down to perfection. Thanks Don! I started the batch with the Clear Creek, the Kambaba, and the Bloodstone. I was going to post those and title the thread "I Was Green With Envy" LOL - However, I just kept wanting to cab...so I did! LOL |

Yeah...we've gotta work on that white towel! Of course! They are well deserved. By "white" I mean an old bleached white. I use it for drying my cabs after cleaning. I should invest in a photo setup. Lol! |

Nice work on all of those.
I forget how similar Wildhorse and Cripple Creek can look. I may have to review some ID when I was guessing.
You nailed that Plasma agate. I have a couple of those in the queue as well. Just need to find time.
Loving Groot.
And you already know I’m a fan of the bloodstone and anything you do with Teepee Canyon

All are sexy as usual. Such a broad spectrum of material. Can't pick out a favorite.

They are all gorgeous, which has become the norm for you, Jason!
I absolutely love the Plasma, though. You killed that tabular shape and I'm happy to see you expanding your shape range.
As you know, I absolutely love bloodstone and since you don't give me anything to nit-pick at anymore, I'm going to say that because that stone has yellow in it, you have to call it Fancy Jasper. True bloodstone is dark green with red spots.  |

Does #16 have a template of a tear drop on the back? They are all awesome and you are quickly becoming a master! Oh yeah, I see this guy in #12...  |
