cabby asked if anyone had any pictures of Carey moss (slabs or rough), so here is a sampling of the rough:

Dry:

Wet:

Edit: I tried to get some better pictures using my shop drop light. Made the colors kind of funny, but you get the idea.

Yep. That’s it. Just a dense red moss that wanted to plume, but just couldn’t. Still looks nice cabbed up

Thanks, guys! When I searched Carey moss I was getting a variety of different rocks, from typical Carey plume to some green moss from Idaho lol. So Carey moss is just the part of Carey plume that is really mossy vs plumey?
