Keep em coming! Your tumbling gives the rest of us something to at least get "close" to. Do you cut all of your slabbettes yourself?

I bought all these slabbettes and assorted sizes from an old rocker.He used to make windchimes among other things.He had several barrels full,I ended up with 400-500 lbs of the Brazilian slabs.I asked him if he cut all these,he said he bought them already cut. snuffy

Love the colors. Looks a bit darker than usual, but that's exactly what attracts me. Got some Australian carnelian, I think I should give them more attention. Your carnelian looks great. If the color would be any stronger, it could easily be mistaken for honey or amber.

I'd sure never get tired of looking at beauties like that! Also can't imagine having 4-500 pounds of Brazilian slabs to work with, very cool...

Another sweet batch Snuffy, you do indeed possess a knack for a liquid shine! I love Brazilians, the ones I have worked with are mostly fracture free. It would take awhile to cut all those slabettes.

Those carnelians and bots are real standouts and the Brazilians look really nice. That's inspired me to slice into a few pounds of Brazilian rough I picked up a few months ago.
