I cut these for Brent. This is from material he sent me to cut. This material is soft and cuts easily. what I found is that the material on the right took the best polish and was solid. The material in the middle and the left had pitting issues but they both cut easily and took a decent polish with moderate effort. The middle one had an unseen fracture. As I was preforming it broke cleanly along this fracture. This is why it is not an oval like the rest. I really like the color and pattern of the one on the left. ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/CABOCHONS%20FOR%202011/111_5550.jpg) Thanks Brent. I will keep these for you until we meet at the Pow Wow next year. Christopher

Thanx for doing those for me. They look great. The one on the left is my favoite. The one on the right came from a 500 pound boulder. The one in the middle came from a 2500 pounder. Mary ann, I will have lots at Q.
