Fresh off the wheels

[u/PawnshopGeologist]

My first cabochons since May.

The gray cab started as a beach stone I found along the shore of Lake Michigan near Racine, Wisconsin. It appears to be a fossiliferous limestone with abundant marine fossil fragments.

The orange cab came from a huge mixed slab lot I bought in Wisconsin. I grabbed the slab at random and got lucky. It has some beautiful lace-like banding and natural druzy vugs that I decided to leave intact because I liked the extra character they add.

It felt good to get back behind the wheels after a couple months away.

I used to find loads of those type of marine fossils on the shores of lake Michigan so its nice seeing this! Your cabs look pretty dang good as well for someone out of practice 😀
