They're all great but that Marfa plume sets off my heart arrhythmia!  Fantastic stone.  Is it a doublet or does the material have a natural black background?  Makes no difference really in terms of beauty.

The background is natural. At the Singleton, there are locations where there tend to be black, white, clear or blue/white backgrounds. I'll post a couple more I just finished with different background colors.

The Black on the Singleton although found in each area The Agate on the Mesa on the North/East side of the ranch has the most black agate on the ranch.  People when collecting there have to learn that it can be just a rind and the interior of the stone can be all sorts of things.  It can make for some striking cabs as Craig has shown.

Your cabs show some fantastic color and a great touch with design.
