I bought a couple polished chunks of what was labeled as ocean jasper at a show and sliced them for cabbing. Its different then any ocean jasper I have seen before. edit:just realized I posted this in the cab section but I do it all at the same time so there is no chance to really post just the cabs. OJ #1 OJ #2 Lapis Lazuli Thanks for looking Chuck

I have never seen one that shade of green before... do you know where it came from? yep it came from a rock show in Howell,MI - lol If it truly is ocean jasper it would have came from the Northwest coast of Madagascar. You would really like the original large polished piece I cut these from. I still have one more I have not cut yet. Chuck

I like the OJ too, but not because it's green. The orbs do it for me. I really like your new groove wraps too. They're very uncluttered.

Its all about displaying the rock with that wrap style for sure. I really like them but I cant help but think that viewing my groove posts will get boring since every wrap is practically identical. I can add a swirl or two to the bail but that's just not usually my thing. Chuck

I am truly inspired by the Lapis piece, I think I might dig out a very special hunk I've been holding onto forever! Once again, I love your groove wraps!

Chuck, now you know I'm going to ask for pictures of those slabs, don't you? The one one the left is how I bought them. The one one the right I cut in half and made those cabs from the other half. I can also cut the left one in half and cab that one too if I decide to. Could end up with 8 cabs from these too polished nodules. Chuck

Beautiful stones, both of them & I still love the simplicity of the groove wrap. When you have gorgeous stones like those what better way to show them off!!!

I do so love your groove wraps! I prefer the look of the stones over the wire wrapping for things I wear. I'm not a big jewelry girl but have picked up pretty rocks my whole life.
