Nice slab! I bought some of the same material off ebay and ended up with one of the plastic shoe boxes full! I put in a joke bid and got it for about $20.00!! It cuts well, very stable, and takes a SUPER polish. You will have fun with it.

Wow! You've got the 5-eyed pig in the first pic, and all their cute little behinds in the second.
All kidding aside, that is an awesome slab! I never realized a slab could be so amazing! Wowsers again! What's the green stuff?

That has to be one of the prettiest Royals I have seen. Is that you finger print on the bottom left hand side of the second pic?

Beautiful slab. That material is hands down one of my favorites and like the person above has said, man it takes a glass polish with ease!. It does seem to sometimes show those stress fractures when a nodule is first slabbed but good cabs are always real eye poppers!....Mel
