Agate, Jasper & assorted cabs.

It was suggested by Pink that we start a thread here for general cabs of any material other than precious opal, So here goes. I'll lead off with a Woodward Ranch red & black plume.
Plume from unknown location.
So often the end nubs after slabbing get thrown in a bucket to feed a rock tumbler. Look them over before discarding them.
A couple of Montana Moss agate end nub cabs. Forgive the few edge chips. That's the nature of the beast when working with end nubs.
Another Montana Moss. I call it The Heart Of Montana for obvious reasons. Look closely and there appears to be a chicken walking inside of the heart.
Don't be afraid to try non conventional materials. I've always wanted to find an ancient piece of Damascas steel sword blade to cab. But for now this piece of Desert Iron Wood will have to do.
Kramer Junction golden agate from California.
That's it for now. Jim & other cabbers, lets see them.
