    Next one is at Kempton Park racecourse this weekend

    Hello, I am a new member too, but have made my own cabs for my pieces. I make agate and jasper cabs mainly and can send you some pictures if you want.

    I've used PJ Beads before and can recommend them. They're very quick off the mark with postage too. The only thing I'd say about them is make sure you fill your basket as the postage is £3 - even for a tiny envelope of 6 cabs.

    I've never bought from them because I only do pearls but how about http://www.gemcollector.com/. I've met Steve Bennett and he certainly knows his gemstones.

    The word that occurred to me wasn't "informative" - it was "lethal". Some gorgeous stones there - and a number I've never heard of before.
