Ok folks, I really dived back into this material! Here are some cabs...
and here is a really amazing BIG cab, 
Also, from the same piece of rough, came these really lovely centerpiece beads...
This one is my particular favorite. 
The oranges aren't really quite as bright and vivid under normal light as they are in the images. I took the pics under 4 incandescent bulbs and the brick-red-orange cuprite really pops under those lights and I can't seem to just tone down those colors when I photograph this stuff.
All the above stones came from one distinct piece of rough. Here are two centerpiece beads I made in a nearly perfect match of double ended tapers, which I also call a "lingam" shape, after the aniconic representation of the God Shiva used in Hindu temples
That's all I have finished and photographed at the moment but there's lots more cabs and beads in process, some of which I'm going to leave matte finish, which I'll share with y'all shortly. The above items are in my eBay store and some are also in my Etsy store. Here's a pic of the whole batch of stuff I started on last week, all roughed out, some of which are seen finished above and the others of which are still in process....
