Amazing that you found a piece of Kaleidoscope that didn't crumble to pieces. Great job on that!

it is interesting that there is so much variation, for a rock from a small region. I have been fortunate finding affordable slabs.

No way can I work it either. That is awesome and I dont blame you one bit for saving it. I've been thinking of ordering some rough from the gem shop just to have one to cab

I pick up all the affordable slabs I find. The 160 dollar slabs I leave behind. I seem to get excellent cabs out of the 10 dollar slabs they are just a quarter of the size.
