I picked this piece up a couple of weeks ago and decided to see what it was like inside. There are some fractures and I'm sure once I start trimming it it's gonna break, but I think I can get some decent cabs out of it. I really like the black with the red poppies. 2 of the nicer pieces Gotta go cab some of these. The largest slab is about 3"x2"

It's springtime and the poppies are blooming in California. At least in Ed's yard! Nice flowers!

Yea, there's a few fractures, but even so, I think I can get 2-3 cabs per slab. I just worked up 3 cabs out of pieces that broke off while sawing. I'll post those in the cab section in a few minutes.

I worked a Stoner preform- (that is why I want more) Pictures do not do it justice- It was funny to work- I just had doubts that it was gonna shine- even off the 3000 belt I was unsure (jeeze what did I miss- where are the scratches- why is it soo dull) then ZING it come off of 14K with a Mirror! i just buffed it up on 50K to an unbelievable shine- I can't even get a good picture of it cause it frigs with the camera's lite meter-
