Hi everyone. Been feeling under the weather lately so I have been doing much cabbing. All's well now so I'm getting back to the wheels. Here's just a few. Willow Creek Jasper Laguna Agate Carey Plume agate Robinson's Ranch Plume agate Covelite-nice material And this is a plume agate from Lake Pleasant in Arizona-Collected from Jamie's yard! That's it for now, more to come!

If anybody could tumble polish Pietersite to such a gorgeous shine, and do it flawlessly, it's you Don. So glad to see you tumbling again and posting your talent on the board. You will always be the #1 tumbler around here. Hope all is well with you.

Specimen's are made to be cut! I bought one of those parcels too, it was okay, nothing like what you have here.

Congratulations on getting hitched. The cabs are excellent. I haven't gotten too excited about the Linda Marie plume but the Sheep Creek plume is dynamite!

I'm in for this trip, any weekend is okay with me. Everyday is a Saturday for me! I have a 2013 4 dr Silverado, 2wd but I have 12" of clearance. Will that make it?

Hey Randy, postage overseas went thru the roof about a year ago. I mail cabs in a size "0" bubble envelope and usually 1-4 cabs in an envelope for overseas is something like $7.50. You just have to increase your shipping prices or eat the extra postage.

Hi everyone! Did you miss me, or did you notice I was gone??? Life got in the way of my cabbing-Shame on Me!!!! All my family things are behind me now and sickness, so back to cutting rocks. Here's some new ones I've just finished. Priday Plume agates Carey Plume agate Ocean Jasper Chrysocolla/Malachite Boulder Opals Sonora Plume agate That's all for now, I'll post the rest in another thread.

I think the first set of rocks is what they call Apache Chrysocolla, a combination of Chrysocolla, Cuperite, and tenorite and a few other things sometimes. It comes from Mexico and New Mexico. It's usually more stabile than Chrysocolla.

Nice work Tony. Usually if the velvet obsidian is cut 10-15 degrees off the flow lines, you'll wind up with the best colors.

Nice! But I think what you have here is a Woodward Ranch biscuit. Is the skin brown, does it look like a cow pattie before it's cut?

If you don't mind, this is a ROCK forum, your political views are best put in the Politics section of this forum. But I do have to ask, are you always a jerk?

A fitting tribute to Bearcreek Lapiday. All these cabs are top notch.

You all know this is got to be hard for me to do, but the cabs that bring me the fondest memories are the pre-forms I got from Bearcreek Lapidary. Montana Agates One of the rarest stones I have ever come across-or rather, haven't seen since I got this stuff, Maury Mt. Moss in Amethyst. Another rare stone, Black Carey Mt. Plume Agate And a few I came up with myself. Boulder Opal A "Bots-dot" Morrisonite Royal Sahara Jasper
