Here's one I picked up and threw on the slab saw recently. Cut a few slabs and was blown away by what I seen on the saw. Decided to stop short of slabbing it all the way as I think I would like to polish the face and display it. 4 pound end cut  face    |

Lovely structure. I'm always amazed how you guys see potential in a rough. That thing in the rough would have been an absolute leaverite to me. |

It looks like it has a well-silicified, solid structure with no spongy areas. It should be a delight to cut and polish. Great color and structure. Rick

Whoa!!!! That's REALLY gemmy!! I wouldn't have thought there'd be anything good in that rock either looking at the outside! You have such vision for picking rocks!!

You never know what's lurking in dem bones! Brad, yeah the green caught my attention from the start. Was hoping for more inside but it did not disappoint. Daniel I still need to take pics of the slabs, hopefully in the next few days. Thanks all! |
