This large cab is most of what is left from one half of a plume agate collected on the Walker Ranch in 1994.

I'm not done with this one yet.

Another cab I purchased from Chacon's, and this one has a nice pink fortification area with good depth.

A "cabochon" is a precious or semi-precious stone that is just rounded on top instead of being faceted. Here, you have to use your imagination, because I haven't put any effect on it so as not to cover up the tree. I hid the previous glass version, because I didn't like it too well, and I'm going to try something else with it.

Flowerstone Cabochon crafted by me at the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club

Inspired by the soggy weather, and the apparent popularity of mushroom-themed items at our local crafts market, I decided to try something a little different. The shape was accomplished by adding the stem to a tongue shape. Getting into the corners was a little tricky on Genie wheels (I think a Dremel or a Flex-shaft would be useful here), but it worked. The starburst jasper undercut slightly in the starbursts, which isn't something that I've seen previously. Could be the bald wheels creating extra drag, or the fact that I'm using a squirt bottle to keep the wheels wet.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased for a first attempt.
