Hey fellow cutters and tumblers, Two weeks ago i put some nice regency in the slabbing crate, and finially got to it over the weekend. I mainly got one hugh slab out of it for me pops, who one day will make a nice backsplash. I managed a couple smaller slabs off the remainders, and man did i ever hit a fine pocket of color. I have cut allot of this stuff, and still am amazed when i get a cab like this with this color, and such fine plume pattern. And rarely can they ever big cut into such a large cab too! IT measures 54x62mm! The pattern reminds me of a Cherry tree in full bloom. Thanks for looking! (Clickable thumbnail, and the detail is so nice!)

Thanks guys, I have gotton the coarl reef look many times from cutting Regency and backing the cabs with a black stone. And the depth is what makes the stuff so nice. Just like the Graveyard, which this techniqlly comes from the same occurance. The golden plume is easy to come by, but not always when it has the pinks, in such a clear agate.
