Got this little chunk when visiting thegemshop last summer. I saw some lines and hints or red color on the outside, so I had hopes, but the cut was much nicer than I expected - and it is all solid. None of the lines are unhealed cracks. The blue-green area is actually a little stronger than the photo shows. The white-white is not seen as often in this rock. Very nice contrasts and pattern overall. I will get two more half-dollar slabs and a tumble nugget from the endcut

LOL Steve, I have been so busy putting up slabs now that I am running 2 saws that I have not made so many virtual cabs this year. But, I think this will be kept largely intact as a square tile. Maybe I can post a virtual tile. (In fact, I will momentariarly have a jade slab in another thread and it has a virtual tile. Check it out.)

Those are REALLY nice! Find myself wishing I had a zoom function... I'd love to see what you do with these.

Those are great. And the healed fractures add a lot of character

Daniel, next time you come across something like this could you grab me a small piece of it, please? I'll be happy to pay ya for just so it's not going to cost me an arm & leg.
