Howdy folks, Had a bit of time before I head out riding today so I did a quick tape dop job and finished this cab. Sort of a different color of Devil's Toenails but it still takes a mirror polish with ease. A guy told me if you cook this it turns redder but this is natural color just as cut. This one is 2 1/8" by 1 7/8". Thanks for looking.....Mel

Somehow, this cab makes me want to say "can you hear me now?" Looks like a bunch of ears instead of toenails. Beautiful shine on it too! Great Cab! Fran

Awesome stuff! It looks like some kind of fossil. I like the color as it is. Steve

Steve: Yep Devil's Toenails are a primitive group of oysters. This stuff is simply silicified limestone full of the shells.....Mel

Great looking cab, Mel. I understand if you carry this stone in your pocket it will help your rheumatism (or so they say). Garry
