A new cab from my digs. This material is soft and cuts just like turquoise. In fact I backed this material with JB Weld like sometimes is done with turquoise. I am having good success doing this with this material. This came out of the same vein the material with the dark matrix but is much softer. Easy to cut and takes a killer polish. ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/CABOCHONS%202013/367mmx268mmx97mm57ct40-5.jpg) ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/CABOCHONS%202013/367mmx268mmx97mm57ct40-1.jpg)

Yep all color that's why it is so soft. I think I am going back out on Sunday. It's quite the drive for me 7 hours to the spot. I am having trouble finding someone to go with me.

I'd go too. Great stuff. I'll have to plan a trip in the next year or two to help you dig some rock...

Wow! Really good looking rock there! I go on a green kick every once in awhile. I did do some malachite/azurite cabs a couple of days ago on the grinding wheels. Gotta smooth them out and polish soon. Nice finds!
