Title: A few recent cabs from July and August
Post by: tntmom on August 20, 2014, 08:55:30 PM

I haven't cabbed too much recently but will be getting back in my groove soon!

Amethyst Sage.  The first pic is sister slabs, crazy how different one slab is from the next!

An unknown softer blue, possibly Dumortierite.  It worked up very similar.

And lastly, a Noreena

As always, those are some sweet cabs!
I'm not usually a fan of Noreena but that cab really pops!   :icon_sunny:

Those are some monster cabs! Very interesting gradient effect on the smaller oval.. Just a touch of brown on the left.. Way to go!

Beautiful!  I like Noreena, it's just so unstable!  Your cabs are always perfect Krystee.
