Title: limestone cab
Post by: domdeslagons on October 10, 2016, 04:49:34 PM

I know they are not agate or jadeite but I do think they are worse showing! Our local limestone is so surprising it can sometimes give you some awesome cabs!

Yes they are worth showing. I think they a very nice, is that a vein of quartz? Whatever it is I like it. Good job!!

All three are beautiful cabs! Love the balance of shape and lines, especially your placement of the quartz band in all three. Very pleasing.

I like them  and the rough looks great with nice contrast and rich color.

Very nice cabs.  Where's "local"? and is the materials generally available?

thanks a lot for the praise, but it is for the stone!!
It is a local stone, and yes quite easily found, but not always so lucky with what is inside!
with the main part I did the horse head, and as you can see it is gray. The part for the cab was on the top of the ears!
