O.K. I am in this time. I worked on this this morning. It's Mexican flame agate. I had to work around some pockets and some fractures. I had trouble with the auto focus on the camera, so sorry about the first two pics. I think you can make out the original slab and preform. Hope you like. Enjoy, Eric.

Sizzling hot cab.  Just love the shape of your cabochon Eric.  The way the flames are bursting forward from that long base line. I can visualize this cabochon in a very sculptural piece of jewelry!

What I love about this contest is seeing the rough before its cut and polished.  I probably would have walked right by this piece of bruneau japer at a gem and mineral show, and not seen the stunning piece it would make.  Thanks, Im learning from your good eyes.
