I picked this piece of MM down at the 2011 Quartzsite show. It was an end cut. I was mesmerized by this stone from the moment I picked it up. Anyway, I continue to try to get a case of framed cabs ready for our rock show next month, so that's why I am showing several all in a short timeframe. Marra Mamba with petrified palm frame: Close-up: I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Nice Piece, I like the idea of using the Palm Wood as a border.

Thanks All! Ed, this one is a tad over 2-inches wide (outside of frame).

That has got to be one of my favs! You do super work, tight seams, and perfect color combos with the useage of material. I still fail at getting tight seams...practice, practice, practice I assume. I bet your display case is definitely one of the best! Steve
