Here are a few cabs I made from a thunderegg.
I love the moss agate in them. :)
I wish the pic could show the fine detail in them a little better.

I like the way they look. As I did some lapendry when I was in the Army.

I bet if you tossed that whole egg along the ground before it got cut,, as round as it was,,, it wouldnt roll

a rolling stone gathers no moss,,, :P

Speaking of moss in eggs,, here is an egg that is stuffed with moss. It does better as a whole specimen rather than cabbed, because the moss is so dense,, Your cabs have just the right balance of moss in clear agate. This egg came from right up the hill. ^_^

WOW! Beautiful egg Si! Was that the only one you found like that, or are all the eggs in that spot that way?

Cool prospector_41, got any pictures of your work? I would love to see some. :)
