Got some very beautiful Hampton Butte material from catmandewe last week, and WOW. I started slabbing it and couldn't believe how beautiful it is inside (nor how good my photo turned out......and how dirty my camera was, oops! Sorry folks!).

Perhaps some taxis too

My plan is to cab everything I can aside from a 6x6(ish) inch chunk I'm going to put on the flat lap and turn into a display piece. I almost feel bad slabbing what I've cut so far!
