I did a few yesterday...not all were the greatest stones in the end, so didn't bother showing them to you.....This one however is just too pretty! As far as I know, I only have this one like this, and have not seen another like it b-4. A rainbow in a Lake Superior Agate. 1" x 3/4" sorry bout the lint! Then a Minnesota Jasper with some hematite Ok, that's all I'm showin ya! The others kinda sucked, didn't realize they had so many fractures when I started them.....uggh! Guess I'll learn to look better! Thanks for lookin'! Marie

Thanks Toad! Aint she a dandy? Wish I could find more like that one....not a very common color combination I don't think.....I just love that one! I think the dremel cabbing taught me a few things...I still have some things to work on technique wise, but I'll get there!

Fantastic cabs Marie! The laker is superb, but that jasper with hematite is nothing to scowl at either!

These are beautiful Marie. You'll learn to cut through/around the fractures to get good material for your cabs. Honest, you will. Keep up the great work Girl!

Yep I'd totally agree with Nate! Love the 1st one but the 2nd one is not one to frown upon. You're getting a sensational shine too. I think you've found your groove. Steve

Thanks guys! Sometimes I just get so frustrated, cuz with the lakers...the fractures are a LOT of times right through the banding! UGGHHH! Glad to know I am not the only one who likes that jasper/hematite one! I don't know why, but to me it's just cool lookin! I am surprised tho, that no one really has commented on that laker in those colors...maybe they are more common than I thought? I have just not even seen a pic of one in a rainbow b-4, so I thought it was kinda special....hmmmm. Thanks again everyone...didn't get to do any today, had a buncha stuff I had to get done, so I wont bore you tomorrow! hahaha!

Really pretty cabs, Marie. Now that you have several done on the wheels, could you ever consider doing any more with the Dremel? No? I thought not! LOL! It's like night and day, ain't it.

Those bandings are fantastic! And the vibrant colors on the last two ones! All of them are beautiful.
