Rich, wonderful cabs! The Llanite cabs remind me of those days when the skies turn grey and dark with storm clouds but there's still a few patches of shiny blue sky. I really like these!

Gorgeous. Are you sure the Llanite cabs aren't Larvikite? I love flashy rocks. The morgan hill is my favorite though - I haven't seen one with black poppies on yellow background before! Very cool.

Yeah, those are larvikite from Norway. I love them- very flashy. I love the morgan hill- very cool. Don't think I have seen one like it. The pink opal is usual, too. Where is it from? The Peru kind usually doesn't have that crystalline look.

It looks very much like lepidolite from Wyoming that we saw in Q last weekend. pghram

Yes, the first appears to be Apache Gold. Great job on the others. The Morgan Hill's a real winner.

Thanks everyone! Definitely Larvikite not Llanite. I'm fairly certain that the pink opal is from Australia. I received in the mail today the sister slab to one that produced the two Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper cabs :>)
Peace,
Rich
