You will not find every cab exciting. Sometimes there is only so much you can do with the material or you have done something similar before. There are a lot of great cabs in the group.

Very nice job on all of them. The Rhodo is my favorite. Oh BTW I think the one that says apatite is actually angelite.

There are some real nice ones there. I rally like the shape and colors of the first Wingate agate and the opalized fluorite is also very nice.

I really hope everything continues in the right direction for your daughter. Nice set of cabs. That Pietersite is tops for me. I really need to work on some variety like that soon. I have been stuck in a deep rut with my cabbing.

I'm in awe of your cabbing skills, Tela. Some quality rough there too. That Deschutes really pops!

Those are all beautiful. I like the shape of the rhodochrosite. The Deschutes has great patterns and that Pietersite is stunning.

The first wingate and fluorite def have the right shapes for the material and pattern! Diet wingate I thought was a shield of flames at first.

Very nice job on all of them. The Rhodo is my favorite. Oh BTW I think the one that says apatite is actually angelite. That blue stone was given to me and she swears up and down that it is apatite. The angelite I have does look a hair different. They both are soft, too. Either way, I love the color.

Got some in from Mada and it looks exact same, unusual color.
