Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world... Batcave Jasper. with plume  The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Skaggs Blue/Green Jasper Healed fractures  Listen....... Hampton Plume. everywhere you look in this world...... Jackhammer Plume. One of my discovery  wherever there is light...... Willow Creek Jasper. there will always be shadows to be found as well. Purple Amethyst Sage. Been spending most my life.... Rocky Butte Picture Jasper. Living in a rockhounds paradise. Morrisonite Jasper. I'll cut garbage once or twice.... Vistaite Jasper. Healed fractures  living in this rockhounds paradise. Belvade/belvedere Jasper.

Love the Belvade/belvedere Jasper! Amazing colors and pattern. Thanks. It’s pretty stuff. Kind of a pain to work. This had a few spots of minor undercutting. |

Those cabs look great! I like the shapes you chose on all those!
The material...it just looks like it came out of a scrap pile to me!
*For those who don't know...it most likely DID come out of a scrap pile! LOL

One man's scrap pile is another man's treasure .... Love all of them, but that Belvade is kick-a$$. The Morrisonite is right behind it, though. Please tell me you didn't find that Morrisonite in the scrap pile  ! |

Please tell me you didn't find that Morrisonite in the scrap pile ! Vistaite, morrisonite, Skaggs, Amy sage, and if I remember correctly that batcave came from chunks pulled out of the scrap. |

Love that Belvedere
Do you have any rough of the Vistaite? I found some that I'm trying to confirm if that's what it is

Dang, excellent set of cabs realrockhound! Hard to pick favorites but I'm digging the Hampton, Willow Creek and that Belvedere is very nice. Recently I saw some Skaggs rough sell for some insane amounts (like $100+/lb). I was blown away when I saw the auctions close for that much but I haven't been paying attention to the price of Skaggs before that. I was left scratching my head after seeing that lol. |

Each of them is top notch! Great selection of materials, beautifully cabbed!
Cabbing a beautiful slab into a beautiful cab is nice, but bringing out the beauty from an ugly scrap - that's awesome!
