This cab is my latest submission to Rock and Gem magazine for my "Bench Tips" monthly column. It is made from a slab of a Black Rock Desert Geode. The slab had a vug that I utilized for the center of the cab. It looked lonely so I added a small hemisphere of red jasper in the center. I recessed it into a slab of Basanite that I backed the cab with. The cab is 2-1/4" tall. Bob

Gorgeous! I like the way the edge of the vug curls on itself

When does it stop being a cab and start being fine art?
That is a sculpture!

Great piece! It has a natural feel to it, like it was meant to have basanite and red jasper.

The Jasper sphere gives this cab so much 3d appeal that you can't help but just stare at it in wonder, lol love it Bob
