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.  This is the unassuming piece of rough that it came from.  |

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.  |

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 😂
