Lapidary Art: The Basic Cabochon

3. Slabbing
The rock is cut into slabs using the trim saw. The thickness depends on the size (height) of the cabs to be cut. In this case, the Holley Blue has some horizontal banding, so I cut the first slabs thick and then turning the piece 90 degrees to cut along the bands.
