 :drool: I would say this is a spectacular slab bucket! Wonderful material throughout! You sure have a great eye when shopping rocks! I haven't seen tiffany that nice in a long time. Same with the stone canyon! Fran

That looks great! For some reason, I have always thought it needs a rectangle shape to look good but this looks excellent!

Cool cabs! I am not sure about the jade ones. Looks more in line with an amazonite to me. I have some material that has mineral staining, giving it that slight yellow to orange/brown additional color. A lot of the lighter stuff I have gotten from the Moorefield mine in Amelia, VA. most times you have a shimmer to it and others, none at all.

First off, love your cabs! With dop wax, I have found for me to freeze them for 10 minutes seems to work perfect. Much longer, you deep freeze the cab onto the nail, dop or stick and they won't budge for a while so you kind of defeat yourself. Usually, if cabs have not fallen off, a slight tug will remove them when you pull them out of the freezer. I have used glue and freezer seems to work with that also but seems a little harder to remove the cab from the dop. I just got the 3M double sided outdoor tape and cut tiny squares of it to put on nail heads for my earring size cabs. Have only done a couple and so far, it works great! they were not staying with the wax so I sure hope it works through the whole process.
