Some nice looking larger slabs, especially like the brecciated material.

I was sitting here trying to pick a favorite, but I must have been thinking too hard because I started to smell my hair burning. So I'll take the easy way out and say they are all my favorites. I like the colors in all of them. Robert.

Doing the polka for the polka dot agate! Love that Polka Dot!!!!!! thanks donnie ! that pokadot was a pain in the but took me two years and three machines to get that thing done ! 2 years and 3 machines?! Definitely worth it, roy! I like the idea that you are still going to cab, and that you are slabbing materials. To me, there are a lot of slabs that are too pretty to cut up into cabs and deserve a nice polish, being displayed, and admired.
