I have never tried mookite before. Its really nice stuff and takes a great polish. I got a real nice chunk of the stuff from stoner way back in the day. These are going to be heading up north. The other cab didn't turn out too good as it was literally rusting while cabbing.

Mook from these slabs:

Some rusty opal:

Ha ha I like the rusty stuff!

That white stuff on the edge of the rough mook is that talc? I can't scratch it with my fingernail, but I have soft nails - I like mook, it's stinky though I find compared to other stuff, but the colors are fabulous - I like your shapes too

Very nice there Tony, that frist Mook is really nice. Is it a double dome cab? Nice reds in that opal too. Thanks for sharing them. tweet, basically yes. Though im not sure if its really talc, but its still soft and wont polish, best to grind off. However the whites in Mookie can still be hard, you will notce that soft white stuff real easily when cutting.
