Purdy material. Don't think I've been that good this year. Maybe next year ?

When you look at the photos it looks like only a portion is purple. Am I looking at it wrong? Bob

I have cut it and it is not that impressive to me. Way over priced. Rather have a good agate or a good jasper any day.

It is beautiful in person but very crumbly and flaky to work from what I hear. I sure do love the pictures in the magazine though! Fran

Feedback rating 99.9 with 9999 feedbacks. lol ...... I agree, the price seems to a on the extreme side, though it is some pretty stuff. I'll stick to purple agates.

It's a beeotch to work, but worth the effort IMHO if you want something unique. The range in prices is astounding too. Although, like most rock, you have to look at what you're getting for what you're paying. Tell ya what Scott. It's Christmas time and I'm in a giving mood. PM me your addy and I'll send you a one cab wonder piece to play with. Here's the cab I cut from it. It started out as a rectangle but the one corner kept flaking off and ended up this shape. I think you can see the bottom left corner is a bit funky too. I had to glue it. Hope to hear from ya soon, Nate

You'd think for $1250 they could at least put up a decent picture. $125 a pound for this stuff is a pretty darn good price. I see pieces only big enough for 2 or 3 cabs selling for $20 at shows. If its solid it cabs nice. If not its a flaky PIA. I've used CA glue on it with some success but it might be best to use Opticon.
