very pretty! Doesn't have the startling orange in that one but still beautiful with the patterns you can see in it.

Thank you everyone! It is time I get some things finished up. Starguy, believe it or not, that is aluminum oxide for the polish. It was in my 10 lb vibe and I used a lot of ceramic media for cushioning. I ran it much longer than I normally would. 7 days in the polish only adding a bit of water each day. Snowmom, if I remember correctly, that last set was Maury mountain moss. It was a very light slab that was very solid. It sure shined up great!

Hi All, It has been so long since I have posted anything, I may have forgotten how so bare with me.. I had so many cabs almost done I finally threw them all in the vibe to get final scratches out and get them polished up or I would still have them sitting out in the garage waiting to be finished. Some are sets of earrings that I have the pendant somewhere around here waiting for them to finish sets.My photography is still bad as ever but you will be able to get an idea of how these look. i think they look much better in person. I will probably only post a few here or will overload this thread. Here are some Jaspers Imperial earrings ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JaspercabsNov144_zps73ff2299.jpg) Red Jaspers ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JasperCabsNov145_zps0a565ee7.jpg) Hanson Pet Wood from Woodyrock ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/PetWoodCabNov14_zps8c8a8350.jpg) This is mostly Jaspers with a few agates thrown in ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/MixedCabsNov141_zps9ab57b02.jpg) Have some flints and jaspers here. Can't remember the name of the center one. ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JaspercabsNov143_zpsff764f14.jpg) Can't remember but I think this is Cady Mountain stuff ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/AgateCabsNov1414_zps5f41c35e.jpg) ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JaspercabsNov142_zps72917302.jpg) I know the center is Morrisonite. Can't remember the name of the other two right now. ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JaspercabsNov141_zpse7a973ec.jpg) These are Imperial Jaspers ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/ImperialJasperNov14_zps8ca44883.jpg) Very dark green bloodstones. They just would not show in the pictures well ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/BloodstoneCabsNov14_zps8f9fa837.jpg) group shot ![](http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/franely/Nov%202014%20Cabs/JaspercabsNov14_zps32d23d5a.jpg) Thanks for looking, Fran

That is a real beauty! I always have trouble finding good slabs without fractures to work around. This is a great one! Fran

That one has some beautiful coloring! Sorry the saw is giving you such problems. I really need to get out and do some cutting. I have been on a break for a while now.

Oh Mary Ann! I have not been on here for a while either and just logged in. I am so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing and at the same time, I am so glad you both found each other and had many wonderful years together! Take good care of yourself and your son and know Ralph is in God's hands now.

You have some real beauties there! How did you keep the florite from fracturing a bit in polish? I always seem to have trouble with that, even when taking it slow and letting it cool and not get to hot. Great job on all! Fran
