That is the largest, and most exotic set of cabs I have seen in a long time. Wow Tommy You have some great material that you are working with.

Great stuff. I love the Wingate. I have some Mojave Desert material with some similar coloration, though I know it's not the same. I'm looking to roll mine. Looks promising thus far. Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular set of cabs!! Nice layouts and finishes, too! Can't decide so you'll just have to mark them all as my favorites...

Phew! I was almost afraid to look at this thread. So grateful it was full of the cabs and not the missing butt
But (not butt) what an amazing set of cabs! So hard to pick a favorite, but if forced, it has to be the green picasso marble from 1dave

It looks like Imperial Jasper, Willow Creek Jasper, or Morrisonite. All of those a pretty hard. Picasso is fairly soft. Lynn

Lynn Hmmm... well the totality of the slab was dead-on picasso and it was somewhat soft. Definitely not bloody hard like the jaspers you mentioned. Maybe 1dave can help us clear the air? I made ASSumptions

Great show, Tommy. I'm breaking a sweat trying to pick a favorite, so I won't.

That was a bunch of slabs I purchased back in the 1960's so zarguy has better guesses than i do.
