I thought it was in quartz. My wheels are so dull, I doubt it would have cut agate so easily. The blue chrysocolla on the surface ground out and left what look like plumes or threads of malachite, but it could be green chrysocolla, I suppose. I didn't have any problems with undercutting- but I think that's because of my dull wheels. OH sorry haha. To be honest I don't remember sending it and I thought it was a piece of this stuff I struggled with. There is some white - probably quartz in it...

Great looking cabs. I like the silver one!

Tommy, mine could almost be that, but it is not translucent/transparent. Beautiful cabs!!

Yeah, I can see mine is in quartz but for some reason I thought the green moss was dyed somehow because of the intensity of the color or something? Honestly I don't know what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure I know where it is if I still have it so I may photograph it this weekend.

Here is the rough. Now I am not so sure it is the same. But I've already had hubby cut it up so I plan to tumble it in the next batch. It does appear to be in quartz...

You mentioned "John" is who you buy your wheels from. I'm new to this forum so would like to know who this is. Thanks!
