stardiamond, please forgive this question... What is 2S7 referring to? I'm unfamiliar with that. I googled it and came up tanks. The cabs look great! To a novice like me, I can picture the material fracturing easily when working it, so it seems like some really skilled work.

Amethyst with cacoxenite plus 5 other minerals. |

It is easy to work and doesn't fracture. It can have vugs where the different materials meet. I look for material that has amethyst and cacoxenite; the more cacoxenite the better. Cacoxenite increases the cost. I look for points that show some cacoxenite and split them into slabs.

I love this stuff, I wish I could have bought more when it was readily available. Here is a pic of a large slab I got in an estate sale years ago.  |

azrockgeek. That one requires a second mortgage as a specimen slab with all that cacoxenite.

So that’s what that stuff is? I got a bunch of that stuff with that yellow crap in it. I need to go dig it out if it’s worth what you’re saying it is.

Good to know. The stuff I have is mostly the yellow lil sagenite looking things. Never knew that’s what it was. |

Wow fantastic work on those. Looks like really great material to work with. Very impressive it would be nice to see them in a setting and see what some one would turn it into.
Once again fantastic work thanks for sharing
