Beautiful jasper and that laguna seems to be the quartz and matrix area of the laguna. Still beautiful and should make some great cabs!

Dang! for a first try, that is really good! I will sometimes use a chop stick to push through the top loop and bend the loop evenly. Helps me or mine are always uneven. any evenly rounded, smaller than a pen item will work. Keep up the great work!

YIKS! I have been doing some small cabs but trying to find the window there and make it shine is a tough one! I have found that I can dop on a nail head using the scotch outdoor mounting tape. Cut a tiny piece to fit the bottom of the cab and stick it on the nail head. It does start to pull away during polish but the cabs seem to peel loose instead of flying off so you have time to push it back on. I have a couple 6x8 mm I just finished. Couldn't have done it by hand. Fran

Looks like you have some nice jaspers and granite in this batch. I agree. the one you feel is quartz is. Love the sedimentary stripped jaspers. Great batch!

Wow Donnie, that is a beautiful group of cabs! I have to say that Linda Marie is an excellent material! A bit high priced for me but sure makes an exceptional cab! Fran
