look at that! I love the black background and the brecchiation... was it hard to work with, and did you worry about it breaking because of the healed breaks? That is a neat rock and nice work. very interesting shape, too. don't forget to show us what you do with it!

Nice cab and shine. I've tumbled some of this and really like it but some of the darker areas didn't want to polish very well. Looks like you didn't have that problem. Well done !!

I did not worry too much about it breaking. The dark areas are really a deep green color that was hard to capture in the photo. I have not have any sort of problems polishing this material. I cut this using the standard Diamond Pacific set up on my Genie. Then I polished using 14k super polish, a light Zam buffing finishing with a hard buff on clean cotton

Really cool - especially with that lightning bolt going through it.

Great Cab Christopher!
I was so excited to get a chance to meet you guys and see your vendor table Sunday at the Darington Rock and Gem show. I even got my hands on Olympic Poppy Jasper and some other great material from you. Can't wait to cut and polish it.
Cheers, Matt
