Fine collection Mike! I especially like the job you've done on the tumbled malachite and that beautiful zoned ruby? crystal in the pic fifth from the bottom. That came out great!.....Mel

Nice bunch of cabs, Mike, and that tumbled malachite too.
Is that your "slab grabber" in the first pic? What type of glue/caulk works best for you?

yes that is some tiger eye I'm cutting had to put it on some two by fours to get the right angel. what i use for a epoxy is called sea goin' poxy putty. its water proof. and it the only epoxy i trust to hold when i am cutting slabs. i get at a Marine boat supply house. its not cheap but i like the peace of mine i have when using it. let me know and i will see if i can fined a link for it on the INTERNET mike PS this is just a wonderful website from what i have seen there are a lot of good people here.

Nice pictures, I never knew you could tumble malachite, I thought it was too soft. I love that green and you got a great shine on it too. You have some really beautiful stuff there.
