Have no idea why you would hate posting pictures like that.
I love the range of colors.  I see some killer cabs in there!

I agree with Amanda, no flaws jumping out at me there.  Just a nice bunch of cabs.  :thumbsup:

well here I go the good the bad and the ugly
 first these are some unique Laguna lace I have a love hate relationship with this stuff some of it is really more on the jasper side rather than agate many pieces even the more agatized are pitty and have soft spots. First the good

then there is the ugly this is really crappy but I always seem to try to make something out of it neat colors

what can you say about Montana's this is one of the best I have in my collection so far

working around fractures in Montanas seems to be the rule rather than the exception heres a bad one but I may try to heal it

I really like to cut Braziians generally solid fracture free and if lucky you can get a center cut that makes nice cabs



I really like this one I'm pretty sure its a Pirahna Bobby1 would probably know but damed three pits that I couldn't grind out and a soft spot that goes to the back I may be able to save it though


thanks for looking and reading my rants gotta love this craft

 You have a natural aesthetic sense , these are uniformly elegant.
