Just wanted to share, this is my 6th cab, including the 3 obsidian ones I used for training, and I think I'm really getting the hang of it! I'm not sure what this stone is, it was given to me after I finished my training cabs but the person at the club said its very hard.

It looks good! The stone looked like fancy jasper to me but I don’t think it’s transparent.

Fantastic shaping on that high dome! I might be wrong...but it looks like Maury Mountain Moss Agate to me...

Oh that might be it! The rough looks similar when I do a google search. Either way I love the colors and its actually a lot more translucent in person than in some of the pictures.

Excellent job! You are on your way down the rabbit hole ...

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
