(Typed this out earlier and forgot to hit "create post") Thanks. I try extra hard when I got the material from someone on RTH since I don't want them to think they wasted their slabs or rough by sending it to me.  Tela sent me a couple of very nice slabs quite a while ago, but I was scared of ruining them, so they are just now getting worked into the rotation. Tela sent me some slabbettes quite a long time ago. She labeled a piece of Rhodochrosite with: "Save until you have more experience"...I'm not sure when the time will be right, but I'm still waiting to work that piece! LOL Oh yeah! You're there. Just use a light touch. It's very satisfying to cab and polish. The polish is deep and gorgeous. |

Those are all really great. That Imperial is unusual and I love the colors. Nice framing.  But, the Flower Agate is really special. The crazy shape on the last one is tops! You did a beautiful job with them.
eta I like these pictures much better. Especially the colors.

Oh yeah. You worked that red and black St Johns out to a great polish. I was thinking I liked the yellow and orange one better until I saw these photos.
The Owyhee with the dark band in the lower part is one of the most interesting cabs I've seen in a while. The shape you picked for the juxtaposition of the patterns going in two different directions in that cab couldn't have been better.
