Beautifully designed pieces! Looks like if you rotate them another scene appears. You must have bought at Quartzite?

Hey Mr C, where did you find that stuff? Looks like photos the Hubble telescope would take! I like it. Polishes up nice too.

I we t by my "local" rock shop and was looking to see if the had any of this material in rough. He told me they "probably don't let it leave the country, must have been 20 years since it was openly sold as rough on the market" and my heart sunk. Do you know this to be true or can you point me in the direction of someone who sells it???

You can do a search on Ebay However the good stuff generally gets bid up but sometimes you can catch a break.

Gorgeous cabs, superb workmanship, thanks for sharing!
The cost of the material has always scared me off, but I've heard it can be a bear to polish.
What's your polishing technique?
