I have not had much time for cabbing lately, but I managed to get three done today. I hope you enjoy. I would appreciate some feedback on the best orientation for the Malachite. Thanks. Rhodichrosite, not the best one, just trying to get another cab out of the slab, it has a couple of pits. Varascite, my firt time cabbing this material. The pattern is subtle but it took a pretty good shine, being so soft. Malachite

Awesome. The second orientation looks like a smile and would be my pick. Jim

NIce work!
Is Malachite easy to balance on pointy ends than other materials? Or are you just a good juggler?

I cheated. It was still on the dop (nail) & I used some sticky tack.
