That is a beautiful stone. I have some of that stone but mine is not that quality. Great job.

I could use some to tumble, any would be great for my bottles of blue tumbled rocks, I know they are light blue but they are still blue.
Tammy,

There was a similar question asked earlier, did you do a search to see if it would pull anything up? I'll bet SpokaneTim can answer this question, he has answered a similar question.

This is about the continuation of this Competition, why don't you move it from Competition to the Creating Cabachons? I think it would be seen better and maybe it would a little better seen and more people would enter thay. I just think that since we are Creating Cabachons?

How long do you leave them in the resin? How long does it take to dry them after you take them out?

If you read how the Pro's teach it, you measure the number of wires in your bundle by the thickness of the cab + 1 wire. With it being two sided and high dome you measure the edge and add no wires because the extra wire that you added above was pulled to the back. since there is no back it creates too many wires.
Hope this helps, Tammy

I would like to put in my :2cents:,
It was posted earlier about how many cabs are posted in the creating cabs that were not posted here in this monthly contest maybe it was something that they started, I don't know, a year ago or maybe like, me feel like I can not compete. or if you don't fit into any of those answers, how about one of these; 1. did I photo it in rough, slab, pre-form, shaping, polishing or anywhere in between? 2. did I start it after the 1st and finish before the 15th or did I start after 16th and finish before the 30th/31st? 3. is my cab, with all of its flaws, good enough to be better then the cab the 'staples' of this board? 4. can I complete a high quality cab in 2 weeks? I am not sure that I can.
I will say, that I had planned to try and enter the contest this month.
I know what material I am going to use, I got my saw blade changed and my new covers for my expando's at the ready.
I have thought that the length of the contest was too short, esp. for me, I am not able to do my rock room as often as I would like, I have medical issues, I can make it downstairs today, but it might be an other week before I can spend a couple of hours down there. So for me, I would love to have it lengthed to a month.
I am not sure about a yearly winner, that goes back to the staples of this board.
Now, I LOVE the staples of this board!!!! But, can I compete against the staple of this board.....NO!!!! But I will try, sooner or later.
I think making it a month long contest will help out at least me ;D.

Can you take another photo and change the lighting settings from auto to incandescent?
That will help with the color.
