There's actually a trick to cutting this stuff, it's alot like cutting rainbow obsidian. I'm telling ya, once this stuff is cabbed, it's magic!

I have always loved moonstones...they have such a mystical and ethereal beauty to them. You said: "It's magic!" In many cultures this stone is thought to be magical. For a good read on Moonstone, check out this link: www.gemstone.org/gem-by-gem/english/moonstone.htmlThanks for sharing the beauty of these luscious slabs, Randy. Can't wait to see the abs you create! Lady B

Man, those are nice. I've bought some tumbling rough from Kingsley North, but no way are they are nice as what you got. Looking forward to seeing some pic when you're done.

As soon as I get some warmer weather, I'm gonna cab and wrap a few. It's stuff would look too cool in silver wire!
