That stuff is really cool. Are the little red squares a fluke or are there more throughout the rock?

Thanks for sharing that cab with us J! I have a piece of that material, but I had no idea that it would cab up that nice. Guess I'll have to try that out too. Really Nice cab

lapidopterix As far as I can tell the red squares do continue through the piece. may not be present in all kona.
KD I would say it is between a 5 or 6 on the mohs.
Thanks for all the comments.

A very beautiful cab and I like seeing the rough first. The way the rough looks, I would have thought that the pattern in the cab would have been busier. Looking forward to your other pics.
