Well heres my cab.. Since I found this stone last year I have been wanting to cab it... not really sure what it is. I was calling it a jasper, but its not a jasper. It looks to have garnet in it also. Found this stone locally here in Alaska on a driveway or bulldozed area while working. Due to its small size I cut it in half and i liked the natural shape so I used that for the outline. I will probably cab the other one soon. I have not seen anything else like this and wish i knew where to find more. Considering this is the 2nd cab I have ever made I thought it turned out nice.. but then again if its not nice I probably wouldn't have finished it ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) This is not a high silica and is rather porous for quality so it got a better polish than i was expecting... I wouldn't want to go any higher on polish for this one anyway. Slab and natural preforum (due to being an end cut) ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10616375_303658323167474_800264746691904382_n.jpg?oh=328413d2de437b2beaf031354dcd2de7&oe=54AB7968&__gda__=1424602281_0a12f6e9a877f710b80a86869bff4839) Front ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10451157_304424423090864_6841750881768862465_n.jpg?oh=7101b9b075a2fcd819f4f933fb2e6c74&oe=54B6F642&__gda__=1421049547_954d5b51ea6b446ce4af612466a4a9dc) Back ![](https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10615374_304424426424197_2241690431794434539_n.jpg?oh=1d4ef47b2f3f829eae94a6443ccf680f&oe=54E7F9F7)

I hardly ever think about taking pictures of my slabs and preforms but since I took photos while cabbing this one last night I figured why not throw it into the mix. I do not have an I.D. for the material so if you know it please chime in. ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01250_resize_zpsaa756713.jpg) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01252-resize_zpsc10e917c.jpg) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01254_resize_zps6c4399a6.jpg) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01275_resize_zpse6a68404.jpg) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01272_resize_zps81894fd6.jpg) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/cabs/DSC01267_resize_zpse2e0e99d.jpg) Thanks for looking Chuck

Orrum, I wish I saw you calling out my Lab's ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) may have been the nudge I needed to get one in this month, but I will rise to the request for Nov ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Great showing everyone! Carleton
