Here is about 7lbs or sonoran dendritic in 3 pieces. I got it at a show this weekend, and selection was difficult because there is a red skin completely covering all rough. It is hard to discern blue. I windowed these on my 80g wheel so I know hoe to orient cuts. I got one mostly blue, one about 40% blue, and the big one is looks like only 20% (or less) blue.

This I will start to cut sooner rather than later, so the wait should not be too long.

Well it is the guest bathroom, ... but, yes. I live alone. That sink is only free of rock in or about when I clean house before visitors arrive.

Out of state show. Somehow left hundreds of dollars with rockshow vendors in Minnesota. - but it was expected. helen: Trouble come in many forms. I was sitting peacefully on the john last winter when all of a sudden .. BAM. A small tote of freshly cleaned slabs and rock that I had stuck up on the shelf above the toilet poured down on the back of my neck and shoulders. Hit like a ton of brick, and scared the hell out of the cat. The ones that landed in the tub made a horrible noise, and something chipped the porcelain on the edge of the tub. I cussed enough to blister the paint on the walls, and that was before I took stock of some of the broken slabs - which included some picture jasper and some rolling hills dolomite. I had only myself to blame, and it was a while before I could laugh about it.

Other than zinging some cabs and opals across the room while trying to cut them, I've so far managed to break NO slabs yet! In my life! Ever! (ok... I just jinxed myself... )
