Gotta love those colors. As a color-freak myself, really need to get me some of that stuff this year for both, cabs and carving.

That is cool. Great imagination you have seeing that, I didn't see it until you showed it off.

yeah Jake, I am not sure if I will cut to include or exclude that bit. I kind of like it. My thought was dark star in a binary system rather than UFO, but the point is that it takes a 2nd thought.

Hey nice and grest colored scene! Would love to see what it looks like in a finished cab? Is mookite prone to undercutting? I had a piece that I thought was mookite and tried to cut a large cab n around the edges I got wavy white lines like the stone had layers and I cut past them, I polished it with sapphire powder n the lines showed reall white then. So next I reground the thing from the beggining n still got the lines. I have not seen undercutting n am assuming that was it? Hope this is not consideredhijacking, if so I apologize.

I don't think you can hijack a thread as played out as this one
In my experience, the white in Mook is as solid as the yellow, gray, red, and black. Some Mook has hematite lines, and those will undercut a bit - but it is more common to break at the lines.
If you post a pic of your material.cab you can get opinions on whether it is Mookite
