These were just big enough to get in the vice and get a couple small slabs out of.

That first one is the bomb-diggity!! Is the moss peeking through the surface on those slabs...or does it seem like it's going to cab without the dreaded moss undercut? (I'm hoping for the latter for you!)

That there is some purty material!

"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."

Lots of color there! I love mossy pieces, but I often struggle with the undercutting. Lots of agatized bits though so should polish up so nice! Look forward to seeing them polished!

I might play with it this weekend as I don't have a cab contest entry yet. Don't know why but I haven't had much issue with San Carlos moss.

I'm amazed how varied different pieces of San Carlos can be. Almost like having several varieties with the same name.

Awesome work thanks for sharing.
