Here is a collection originating from the well known Bryant Washburn. He is one of them legends. The material was collected at least 60 years ago. Honestly, I don't even know if you can find this size of material any longer. Odds are you wont find material big enough to make these size cabs without spending a fortune. The piece in the middle is large for the yellow cat location. Flawless piece. The cabs have nice color range. The yellow cat material is one of the most beautiful materials. History in this collection. I could write longer about this particular collection and the folks that it includes. A few of the cabs don't look symetical but they are. The white fiber backing stuff is making them look that way. this piece is 3 3/4 inch long. All of these are cut real nice. The white backing material makes some areas look not as symetical but they are cut and polished very good.

Very nice collection of a rare material. It's difficult to find fracture-free pieces of this stuff large enough to cab.
