That's an awesome cab Christopher.
I have 2 pieces I picked up at the agate expo earlier this summer. He had some that were dang near a dead ringer for Victoria stone. Spent a little time chatting with the guy that created this. Embarassingly I forget his first name. Was a very down to earth guy and it's great to see his material being used!

Ed stoner has been pumping out Bridewell cabs with regularity on Facebook - maybe he can share his experiences about working with the material with us

orrum. Ed does not facet. However, he did some modest faceting on the stone he showed me. It was lovely.
