Nice workmanship, strong color and good layout. Looks like you captured a scene from the land of the Dragons.

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!

Yikes, we got a winner. Super color (I really have to learn how to set up to get those kind of pictures LOL) Fantastic layout and subherb finish.

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.
