Cab That Slab #7Mark what you think will create the best cabochon!
This is one of the slabs that I recently posted in Rock Identification Help. A couple of replies suggested that it's plasma agate. This slab is about 7.0 x 5.5 inches (17.8 x 13.9 cm). In addition to the larger photos I've included a smaller vug map (red marks). The winner of the poll will have the option to start the next contest. Optionally, I'll also throw a few things into a SFRB for the winner. Contest Number 7 ends at 6:00 pm (1800) Pacific Time on Sunday, December 8.

Here it goes... I used the rulers in my program. If I did it right the cab should be abt 1.5" wide and 2" long. Doesn't look it, but it's a decent size cab. I can't blow it up without it looking crappy.

Ok, here's my entry. Not a very well-drawn circle, but you get the idea. ![](http://res.cloudinary.com/mt67/image/upload/v1573575126/erqg6qpda6fo17ogmb9g.jpg) ![](http://res.cloudinary.com/mt67/image/upload/v1573575151/pf4v4m9pwczj9ndrujlc.jpg)

Huh, now I can't see them again. Oh well, at least I got to see them once. Don't know why.

What stood out to me, wasn't sure how to rotate in order to get the void up and down ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191122/b3a6b6ab77096d84e28e28a0f585b760.jpg)

looks like great minds think alike. I used the hole in the slab too. ![(thumbs-up)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/NwJWLOkrXgqcNjdpoXel.gif) I bought a laptop a few weeks ago and used the paint3D to mark the cab. Took me forever. Last reg computer I used was XP... ![(brickwall)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/pLjnlsHgcDSjAoUiYczp.gif) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49107578157_4f4e74a6cc_b.jpg)
