Mine was from Morocco.

Yes, definitely Berber, the pink can be more like an opal and softer than the agate centers, might add tumbling challenges, though we have only cabbed it. I have a preform waiting on me to get past the shop roof project.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Thanks Lee!

looking forward to seeing it when you’re done. This is stuff my rock shop friend has, so maybe we will stick to cutting slabs and doing cabs on it. Thanks for the help!
