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!

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

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!
