A few more cabs I've done this year (lots of pics)
« on: September 28, 2017, 05:59:32 PM »
Here are some recent cabs.

Chrysocolla with malachite in clear quartz. From a thin slab I picked up at Quartzsite.

Two from the Singleton Ranch. The green plume was collected in 2015 and the burgundy moss in 2016.

Succor Creek picture jasper. From another Quartzsite find. I've collected at Succor Creek, but the volcano was too compelling to pass up.

Stunning as always Craig.  I agree that it is hard to pick a favorite with stones like these.

The Succor Creek and Burro Creek pieces really caught my eye and beautifully present their patterns.

All excellent, but that Luna demanded several views.  So did the Singleton Ranch pieces.

Um..... incredible!
All of them, such superb work.

Mystifying is what it is........... Um..... The green plume that was collected in 2015............ I though it over.
I can give up my left pinkie for it.
