1,3 and 4 are from a 3mm slab and will need to be flat tops. 4 has orbs but is dark and I might not bother. 2 is 5mm with streamers and the only potential A cab.

#2 should be an awesome cab. #4 has great scene potential. Bet it comes out better than you're expecting.

About a year ago I bought some Morrisonite rough at the rarerocksandgems anti sniper sale. The large piece was nice and the small piece was misrepresented. I complained and it will be my last purchase from that site. I started slicing the large piece and my big saw quit mid cut. I don't like slabbing using a trim saw because it wears out blades. My current blade was almost done so I ordered a replacement and used the old blade to finish the cut and then trimmed off the matrix and knife edges. My yield was the preform above and what is pictured below. Optimistically, I should get 3 A cabs and 2 or 3 B.

Looking good! The way Morrisonite takes a polish, that one's going to be real nice.
