Pink Oregon Opal- from Stones that Rock Leopard Skin jasper-from Tony Terner Exotica Jasper-From Tony Terner The very first cab he brought me on our first date was this material in this shape! Quartzite with Lazulite and Pyrite- From Kap, found in Graves Mtn, GA I love the blue in this!!! This is a new favorite of mine! This photo isn't very good of it! Blue Quartz- from Tony Terner Tiffany Stonesque I don't knowite!! From Tony Terner Sodalite-from Stones that Rock Adrian's leaves Kimbaba Jasper (sp) & Green Unknown I did it Adrian--10mm!!!! These tiny leaves are a bugger, especially when cabbing with your fingers and not dop sticks!!!! Enjoy! Amber

Amber those cabs are beautiful, I love blue but that pink opal is so lovely. You got a masterful shine on all of them that the pics aren't capturing. I know cause you sent me one that I will post when wrapped but the shine is incredable.
Your leaves are great. I did mine without dopping also and the wheels were hitting the knuckles as much as the cab. lol

Very Nice cabs Amber. You have come a loooong way with the shaping and polishing of your cabs. You must have some good teachers. I like that 1st one and the Blue Quartz. Congratz on the leaves. I've been delaying mine cuz I know how small they are and I just cringe at the thought. Steve

Those are all beautiful cabs! I think that I like the "quartzite with Lazulite and Pyrite" the best.

Great job Amber! It doesn't look like you need new Nova wheels to me based on these good-looking cabs. I especially like the pink Oregon opal and blue quartz. The leaves look fantastic too - I hope you have some fingernails left after making those!

Well, you sure didn't let that blown retread slow you down! That leopard skin is the cream, but I like them all! I can see why you like Keith's lazulite. He said there were boulders of it if you can carry a 12 lbs. sledge up a mtn.....and the sledge and busted up boulder back down The pink opal is pretty cool too! T
