Whoa that's some serious eye candy you have going on there. Outstanding group of cabs. I had to go back and look I had some many that were my favorites.

Those are awesome! My favorite is the red plume, or maybe the tiffany, but I have to know, what the heck is Tidgilite? Oh nevermind, I was spelling it wrong in google. Cool stuff!

Tommy , Are those Mojave pieces natural? Yes and no ... they are a man-made reconstituted turquoise product. A company called Colbaugh Processing takes chips of natural Kingman turquoise, stabilizes and fuses them together with various metals. The purple is also dyed so even less natural.

Got it, pretty stuff, was a dumb question now that I think about it, naturally occurring bronze...
