Thanks realrockhound for putting in some of this amazing material. It's hard to photograph because of the mirror finish. What looks like foggy spots on the side are reflections. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/gkyhn/image/upload/v1720581141/pj3ap6ntzmri6hjmkri6.jpg) This is the unassuming piece of rough that it came from. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/gkyhn/image/upload/v1720581205/z3mrlcmjt6mvx3dn1fzj.jpg)

Yooo…. That came out MONEY. Is that a druzy pocket in that piece? First time ever seeing that I think it would be considered druzy. It's crystal but it's not an open pocket. I didn't even realize it was crystal until after it was finished. It was a dark swirl there but once I ground the dome there were a couple little pits so I ground through them. It's still hard to see that it's crystal when looking at the cab. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/gkyhn/image/upload/v1720583417/ieww7355giyctbursufe.jpg)

That’s honestly a cool lil inclusion. First I’ve ever seen like that in batcave.
It’s honestly such a cool material to cut. Definitely one of my favorites. And takes one hell of a polish. Glad you got some. Feel bad for the others 😂
