I've cut a lot of cabs, some high domes, some really thin agates, but this one is the thinnest one I've ever cut, maybe even a world record! I found the slab in the back of my truck, it had to have come from the sale we went to a couple of weeks ago. Here's the cab shown from the front. Here's a shot from the side view. It has a 1mm bezel and a slight dome. That's a penny I'm holding next to the cab for size reference. I didn't use a dopstick on this one. I'm heading over to the cab section to post a few others including a fire agate.

OMG (Gosh), how on EARTH did you do that? And what are you going to do with it? Do you dare ship it? I would think not. And aside from the depth, it is amazing, by the way. As always!

I cut a preform that was quite thin and I was too scared to do anything to it so I chucked it in the vibe!!!
Great work Stoner!!! (Sign of a true cabbing pro)

Whew you must have a light touch. Did the stone actually come in contact with the wheel or did you just hold it near by and let the breeze remove the stone. That is just amazing craftsmanship.

Wow - That's potato chip thin. That would be some very delicate work indeed! Very beautiful stone there Ed!
