I need to thank Hard Rock Cafe for cutting it for me. It wasn't exactly what we were expecting. Not really a moss, more of a mish mash. I call it a candle stick agate -- looks like blobs of wax from Christmas through Thanksgiving. Vugs in it, but many are small and don't go all the way through the slab, so each slab should yield a couple cabs, maybe more. Before: After: Close-up of one piece:

I love it, its always the best part of having a slab saw is to find out what the inside looks like.

That's why we cut them! The other day I almost threw away a rock cuz it was so ugly. But I cut it anyway and man - it was a really nice piece of plume.
