Thought I'd post a few of the cabs I've been working on. Not the greatest photo but maybe it
will give a quick idea of what's happening around here. Starting at 9 o'clock, around the outer rim
of the "wheel," we have Malachite/Azurite/Chrysocolla, Iolite, Kunzite, Ruby in Zoisite, three Neon
Apatites at 3 o'clock, Botswana Agate, Flourite, Charoite. At center left, we have a large
Graveyard Point "Regency Rose" Agate from Idaho. At center left, we have a large Thunder Bay
Amethyst -- perhaps I should have left on a hint of the deep red skin to show that it was, in fact,
Thunder Bay. I stopped working on it though, because I decided that the large healed crack was too
obnoxious.
The Neon Apatites have been a nice surprise. I don't particularly enjoy working with smaller stones,
but they turned out pretty nice. I was afraid of small stones plus softer material equals entire stone
gets worked away before I have any decent shape on it, but they were a lot less trouble than the Larimar, and
just as pretty, if you ask me.
The photographs below are re-runs, but I'll toss them in here at the end, just for easy reference.
my kunzite, which has an eye on it, next to an uncut kunzite crystal in my personal collection
a ruby in
zoisite cab next to a chunk of the same material, again from my personal collection
