It's been a while since I had such a long slabbing session like this one, that was fun!!! Lots of different materials I got to cut, many of which I can't wait to cab this weekend!!!! Any that catch your eye?? I might not get to everything as soon as I'd like

Just finished up a little project for myself, something I've been staring at for the past year now. With new wheels, I finally decided to finish up these rare nipomo sagenite and marcasite pair!!!! One is a cab while the other is the end cut it came off of :)

Some old stock Mexican sagentic agate I'm halfway through!!! This one in particular stood out to me because of the red and green coloring mixed with some clear agate!!

Halfway through something extra special today, some laguna lace agate I backed with lapis recon!!! I had the idea when I received this slab of laguna lace agate intertwined with quartz from Tim George!

How did it turn out??

Lots of varieties of lace agates I finished recently!!!!!

Just finished this killer Ray Mine sagentic gem silica cab!!!!!!

Finished up a couple of vibrant bumblebee jasper cabs today!!!! Made sure to be extra cautious with this material, don't want to inhale any of it!

Halfway through this batch of various lace agate cabs!!!! So many different varieties and patterns that differentiate from each other!!!

Laguna lace, crazy lace, flor de duranzo, rosetta lace, and sangria lace in the mix!! Which type is your favorite?!

Working on some beautiful blue on this nice rainy day!!!!!

Come check out my selection of cabs I have available today!!

This piece of ochoco tube agate was calling out to be made into a doublet!!!!
Did I make the right choice??

Roughing out some pastel colored sheep's bridge sagentic agate cabs!!!! I can't wait to finish these up and see how they polish up!!!!

It's been a while since I did a double heart cab. I thought this Canadian plume agate piece fit the role!!

Halfway through this killer laguna agate heart I've been working on today!!
You never know what your gonna expect in stone!

Love when I can capture oco geodes with white, black, and red throughout!!! The druzy is the cherry on top!

Just finished posting my HUGE selection of hand-cut cabs available today in Cabs and Slabs!!!! Over 50+ cabs up for grabs! I hope you can stop by for a quick visit, and maybe pick up one or two :)

Putting together a handful of hearts of various materials to share!!!!

Roughing out this old stock crazy lace agate heart, and I noticed something about it...until it hit me, it looks very similar to rhosochrosite!!! Always fascinating to find similarities between completely different stones!

Come visit me in Cabs and Slabs this Friday!!!! Lots of great material up for grabs, many of which are $30 and under!!
