That's a really pretty stone! I like the combination of the greens and pale peach colors with the orange veins running through. Very pleasing to the eye. It'll make some gorgeous cabs!

They are very nice. Frustratingly, I cannot see the cut I would make.

I think my jaw would have hit the ground if I cut that open! They are beautiful slabs! Fran

OK, after some thought, here are the cuts I like in order from highest on left to right.

I like the last one, Daniel. Looks like a mountian with Spring forcing it's way into the snow belt and a muddy river (from run-off) flowing in the bottom left. Be interesting to see what stoneviews does with the slabs.

I see your mountain Todd, and would likely use an oval to get more snowcap if that were the scene of interest.
I favored the 1st one because it seems to have brown shadow behind the orange knot. It reminds me of twigs taken with short depth of field (blurry background) possibly orange wool snagged on the twigs, or even a package wrapped in brown paper and tied with orange twine.

I like the first too. Didn't see it as twigs before. I'm probably the least artistic person on this forum - sometimes I have to be hit on the head with the various possibilities in a scene.

I think I saw the twigs 2nd. First was the tied package. It reminded me of the cover of one of my favorite cookbooks:
