finally finished some cabs

done hauling coral home for awhile some I finished some cabs the other night. Made a ring for the girlfriend. This is all stuff I have traded coral for. Usually box for box. Couldnt tell you the names of it but I like them , something different

Excellent job!

What kind of coral? I have made some neat stuff from sea fan "cores", sounds interesting.

Here's what the cabs possibly are made of:

Rutilated Quartz
Rosetta Stone (a marble from mexico)
Jasper? looks kinda like magnesite but probably some kind of jasper
Stromalitic Algae?
the ring is made of Sodalite I'm pretty sure

thanks, this coral is silicified coral. not really the agitized like the ones we find in the bay. I have some heads that weigh 500lbs. The county I get these from was a huge coral bed when Fl was under water. I cook my rocks and bring out alot of colors

Beautiful work, jc. This post and your other one.
Looks like you've been trading for some quality material.
I especially like the first one on this post.
Really pretty work, Thanks for the pics.
