Trying to thin out the stainless steel sapling farm (if you took all the screws that have stones glued to them, you could frame a house) and went on an agate kick. Also a couple non-agate cabs of what I refer to as "B" Sides, cabs that I don't like because they didn't turn out as originally planned for some reason or another. I'm always surprised by what some people like and what they don't, so thought I'd include them because even a "B" Side needs a little love, and maybe someone will appreciate them even if I don't  Thanks for taking a look!

Wowser! Terrific shine on those. Your Polish flint example is very like the rootbeer flint I find here on our ranch but ours usually does not have such a complex pattern. Neuces River material has much better contrast than our local stuff.

Beautiful cabs with a gorgeous shine! I don't see a B side anywhere. My favorite is the 2nd dreamsicle one. Do you know what that material is? It's yummy.

Great batch! I do like that Polish Flint. The patterns and coloration in the stone go great with the square shape of the cab.

Thank you! I like the second one. Nice Druzy. Thanks! I like the druzy too, looked like ice crystals in the middle of a 50/50 bar to me Oooooo... Very pretty! Gorgeous polish on those. The first three are number one for me. Thanks, Tela! A - They're ALL amazing! B - There is no "B" side to any one of these! C - I definitely C some gorgeous cabs! Haha,thanks Jason! That's what I'm talking about, you never know what people will like, so thought I'd share. It's not like they turned out so bad I had to release them back to the wild, I just didn't love them as much after they were done, if that's ever happened to you. Thank you! Beautiful cabs with a gorgeous shine! I don't see a B side anywhere. My favorite is the 2nd dreamsicle one. Do you know what that material is? It's yummy. Thanks, Robin! The source of that material is actually going to be a separate post, it was an interesting experience. I'll save it for the other post, but I can share that it's some kind of agate from China. Great batch! I do like that Polish Flint. The patterns and coloration in the stone go great with the square shape of the cab. Thanks, Brian! |

I've posted some cabs that I would've been ok if they dropped on the concrete floor after I was done with them...but others really liked them! You know what they say...different strokes for different folks! |

Well throughout history there's plenty of b sides that became smash hits and I do believe you've found a plethora of them!

Those look like candies. Gorgeous!
That square has such a perfect shape, harder to achieve than it seems.
