Really nice cabs there, Roy! I know that biggs! Nice material. That dino bone is my favorite, though! Can't wait to see how your carving comes out! Great stuff happening there!

Nice cabs. I personally like some of the brown Biggs better than the blue, better contrast in the colors and cool dendrites. Your fire agate is coming along nicely.

Love the biggs and the bone.
The FA is coming along well and should not give you too much troubles freeing the rest of the color.
