So here's a couple of views of my latest rutilated Quartz cab; 16.5X35mm

It came from "the rock shop time forgot" this piece had a bit more "fairy dust" in it than i prefer, and the high dome kind of accentuates that, but that stuff is so fun to work!

I've got a big chunk doing coarse grind in my tumbler now (makes it a lot easier to see the direction of the rutile threads before slabbing) so next week I should be cutting a few more.
