Todays work (cabochons)

[Eu_citzen]

Been a long while since I cabbed. Got some new grinding wheels I had to break in.
So here's the result:



The top green is a common opal from the baltic region.
The brownish, top left, is a jasper.
Middle ones are silver ore from Cobalt, Ontario (from a trade with a forum member)
Bottom one is another jasper.

Good looking cabs. I sold most of my equipment to my neighbor once the arthritis pain became too great. What does your lapidary bench look like? If you live near Malmö, I will be across the bridge next summer for a wedding. Perhaps I could drop something off for you to work with.

Thanks you all!

Galenrog, I do live a bit further inland. In southern Småland.
What my workbench looks like? In one simple word: CHAOS! LOL

I sure like the silver with the contrasting white quartz. Nice work. I am showing my boys how to make cabs this summer!

Thank you! When you get started, I'd love to see the results! Who knows, I might even be able to give a pointer or two.

IAMZIM, thanks.
