Here are three of my latest cabochons (cabs).

This was just a rock in the tumbler until I pulled it out and made a cab out of it. Too bad the chalcedony on the top isn’t clear or it would have been really nice.

Pigeon Blood agate, Utah.

This is Biggs jasper with a quartz crystal seam. This was a very mishapen cabochon that I fixed and cleaned up. I think it came out better than expected.

This is called Idaho Seam agate. I bought a small piece of rough at a show for $30 because I have never seen or heard of it before. The bad part was this is the only good piece out of the whole rock. The rest was just cracked to pieces.
