I would have hated to pay the shipping on those huge chunks! Too bad it wouldn't fit in a FRB! LOL!! Cool find. Nate Edit : I looked up the company and they have a really nice website. They have some really far out pieces for counter tops etc. Check it out! www.cactusstone.com/Nate

I'd love to see the saw that cut that beast. Must be one huge wire or drag saw. Don
