I finished this one last night and it is made of a rather rare material - Vistaite. It is 1-5/8" high Bob

I love vistaite – really takes a great polish, and has always been rare. Looks like you did a great job with your cab.

Very nice cab, Bob! Although, I must say it's got a rather phallic picture...

Never cabbed that but looks nice. Is the top of the cab domed? It looks flat in the picture but that can be pretty deceiving.

Yup! I'm thinking VIAGRA-ite.

Really nice cab. Not familiar with how that cabs up. Is it just like a jasper? Fran

Gorgeous! I see this on ebay sometimes. This is a really nice piece, better than most I've seen. Nice job!

Chuck, It does have some sexual connotations and I struggled with which way to turn it when I was doing the photo. Tony, Yes it has a slight dome, mostly from right to left. fran, Yes, it does work like a Jasper (maybe it is) but it was a bit difficult to work because it could have had a more consistent hardness throughout. It definitely isn't a "porcelain" type material. Bob

Looks like the top of a saturn 5 rocket. It's a great look. Has me back thinking about making tiles, if I can just get enough compatible slabs together T
