Thanks Bikerrandy for id-ing that awesome cab, i got a small chunk of that stuff years ago but no one around here knewcwhatbitcwas (aside from awesome). You are 100% right a very soft touch is needed the time I tried to cab it the fibers kept ripping out, I found that cutting across the grain helped. I'll have to dig around and find the rest and cab it.

Just got back from another mining trip early this morning and seen this. You did an excellent job on that Randy. Seems like you learned the material fairly quickly too. Hypersthene can be a little tricky to work with but as you found out, it is well worth the extra effort!!

That's great! Is that banding metalic, Randy? Or more flash? T

The banding is all flash, it's fibrous like tigereye. I'm gonna do a few more of these as soon as I get my yard done.
