Cabbed a couple pieces from a heel and was amazed to see one cab was about 50% quartz with stringers of tigereye much like rutilated quartz, only all aligned and more densely packed. I'll try to get a decent pic before long finally got a halfway decent shot of the cab that sort of shows the chatoyancy. the top part of the cab almost reminds you of the fibers in pet palm, but this is most definitely Tiger ey

The stringers/fibers in the clear area are well defined and show chatoyancy though, so it's a very unusual cab. cell phone won't capture it, so will have to break out the real camera and give it a try

Thanks for posting a pic of your pretty cab, radio. It has very interesting inclusions! Thanks. It has some pits at the ends of the fibers I couldn't seem to eliminate as they just kept going and going. The chatoyancy doesn't show up well in the pic and the lighting was terrible. I will likely never set this one and just keep the cab around because of it's uniqueness Many times when I make a special piece of jewelry for sale, I have to purposely make it to NOT fit me or the wife

Many times when I make a special piece of jewelry for sale, I have to purposely make it to NOT fit me or the wife I hear ya there. Same deal for me.
