I have finished mounting a few new cabs these past 2 days and because I used my 6 prong mountings prefer to list them in the finished cab section of the Forum.

Really nice looking presentation.  Love 'em all, but particularly the polka dot, willow creek and owyhee.  And that's one of the best kaleidoscopes I can remember seeing.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hard to pick a favorite out of that bunch but I have to say, the kaleidescope calls to me (so does the owyhee and the luna and the labradorite and and and...)

Now I need Nipomo and Kaleidescope. *adds to ever growing list*

Love the Willow Creek.  I love the patterns and colors.  The mountings are really well done and i like how the settings don't take away from the stones.

I continue to enjoy the beautiful, simple capture of the stone with your silver.  Allows those stunning cabs to boldly show your skill and eye for pattern.  SALUTE !!!  clapper
