Tommy, I bow to you! I am always happy to see your new creations. I picked a few that I love, but I can't narrow it down:: The burro creek (?), the psilomelane (I'm not brave enough to attempt the mess with mine yet!), all of the PCP and the Tiffs. Well.... and the rest... but that's IT. No more. I see you found the PCP. Fun stuff, ain't it?

I see you found the PCP. Fun stuff, ain't it? Heehee yup! I bought two little slabs of it at Quartzsite in January. Took me a long time to get around to working on it but yes I LOVE it. Except for one piece that broke on a black line, the material in general is stable and takes an easy deep shine.

What a great bunch! Especially like the one Ed tossed in your box, and the Prudent Man. That Apache Sage caught my eye, and did the dino bone. Then there's the ….. Thanks for the show!

Okay Tommy, ya had to drag my name into it, huh, make me come back and drool all over them one more time, lol. Agree with Tela, that PCP is awesome!! The trip to Brenda was a lot of fun, I haven't worked any of that stuff yet (my bad!). Was I there for that selfie Cady's, or was that another trip? I can't pick one favorite, but maybe a couple of them... Liking the agatized Tiffany stone (just above the Brenda agate). Hmmm, what else? Oh, how 'bout that Sci-fi jasper, that is really alien looking, wow. The fourth one you have labelled Oregon limbcast sort of looks like Calico Lace? Whatever it is, it's another winner! Thanks for taking the time to post those, Tommy, always enjoy the show. (Getting a rag to wipe the drool off my tablet, lol.) How is Charley doing?

Was I there for that selfie Cady's, or was that another trip? Yes that was from a little nodule I found on the desert floor that Sunday after you all left and Eva and I went further exploring. Definitely Oregon limbcast - that was from the ONE and only lapidary grade rock that I got in the box from meth-head purplepixie. Here's another cab I made out of it - I posted this one in May. I asked him and he said to tell you he's doing "guud"

Okay, guess I'll buy your story about the Oregon limbcast. (But can you see it?)

Where's the picture of all 6517 of them in a pile? EVEN THOUGH you denied me a group picture, they are all beautiful! I especially like the purple burrow creek that has the lightening bolt/ (or upside down tree) inside it.

Tommy, I love them all! Pat on the back for being so productive. Note to self: cut more cabs! That Pacific coast Picasso is cool. When I lived in the Bay Area I used to beach comb between Half Moon Bay & Santa Cruz. I'd collect beach tumbled cobbles of a tan material similar to what I'm seeing in your PCP cabs. What I found was usually solid tan or with a grain to it like palm root, or had similar veins as yours mixed in. I've slabbed it open & used it for 2 fireplaces. It looks much like the travertine marble sold as tiles. Lynn

Outstanding cabs, Tommy! Love them all! Wowzers at the German rhyolite/agate, pear-shaped Blue Biggs with the bluish xtal vug, and the Charley cab.
