So over the next few weeks iam going to be putting a med flat rate box together to use as a traveling box . How it works is ill send it to someone who is on the list they can take out some items and put back the same amount as you took then you pay for shipping and send it to the next one in line. I will open this up to members here only up to say 15 and in the end the box will be sent to Tommy and it will be auctioned off to raise money to support the group ! So if any one has any imput or wants to join in on the fun just reply here . Oh and one more thing you need to take photo's of what you took and what you put in and share on this thread UPDATE i will be putting in this box slabs,small rough (trim saw size) and cabs something for everyone type box ect

Purchased as Mexican seam agate. About the size of a dollar bill. I couldn't find it on the internet. I looked for Moroccan seam agate and they didn't look the same. I'm finding that a lot of Mexican material is designated as Mexican without a specific location. I bought in on looks. i have seen other posts of this material forsale i think its a new discovery

I thought it was just a fracture at first too. But when I looked closely, I saw that the light play was coming from a layer at the site of the fracture. The layer extends inwards but quickly gets obscured by the obsidian. I'll see if I can capture a better picture later to see what you guys think. But I'm certainly not an expert by any stretch, so I could certainly be wrong (boohoo)! Well.. if you really want to know if it’s fire and where to cut, get a black bucket and fill it full of water, dunk the piece in the water and shine light on it. You’ll be able to see the bar and what direction it’s headed. Once determined, trace around the bar with a pencil and cut horizontal to the bar (above and below). It’s better to cut with more buffer room and then grind down to it instead of trying to cut too closely to the bar. In my experience, the bars like to be wavey and do things you can’t see with the eye or deeper in the piece. Keep me posted. good info now i need to find mine and try your method

I purchased a box from roy a while back & he had a slab from a brick he made - so maybe he can tell you first hand experience ? i did mine with color powder added to the epoxy mother of pearl the mistake i made was not curing it in a pressure pot to get the bubbles out
He called it Chrysocolla a la roy: Patty

Lap it for a few minutes on a piece of glass and you’ll see if it’s flat as flat can be. A pinch of 500 will do. [edit] I see you have a slant cabber, that’ll inform without the elbow grease. lol thats old school i like it
