its the pixels. 2048 is wider than almost every screen. you need to take or resize to something like 800x600 pixels.

I have some onyx of similar color. If it is soft, it could be onyx. If it's not onyx it's a PGR. Pretty green rock.

it's quartz so hard, and it is robins egg blue with bright light yellow veining and bright redy/rust veining. So I think the PGR is out. :<))

the rough looks the same only flat :<)) and pretty plain on the part you see on the outside; not much indication it looks like this inside I don't have a picture of the rough, I just grabbed it and cabbed it.

I took a picture in the light from the window; overcast today. Managed to get a little clearer and cut it in half size also Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/thumbnailer/AFFLop4IeeQjEb1uZDaX.jpg)

I believe the slab is ice cream opalite. I have this material and I thought I got it from ebay seller pilosopherstone years ago.

I would guess with the veining running the way it does and no wood patterning that it isn't wood but with rocks you never know what is going to fool you. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) This is another cab i did today of the same type of material; as I said, the colours and patterning are interesting Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/thumbnailer/PLtIwB6VXImfde7tCtro.jpg)

I've seen quartz, or rather quartzite with similar veining. Jo

I'm gonna guess massive quartz, or quartzite, with lots of iron stained fractures.

this peice actually is a weird mix; It feels more like opal to cut and finish, I tried to do my standard finish but the only thing that shined up was the black band which is bright and shiney. I don't see or feel any undercutting so I don't know what it is and why it didn't polish more. maybe too much dirt scratching it up from the seam of iron. It is a nice semi gloss so I think I'll leave it there.
