I was looking for slabs on ebay and ran across this:

www.ebay.com/sch/evegen0/m.html?item=401587719376&hash=item5d807e4cd0%3Ag%3Apq4AAOSwTWZbf0eO&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

My first reaction was

? $$$

I then took a look for MH pictures and there weren't a lot of similar material.
I got my MH from an ebay seller philospherstone and for a lot less than what this seller wants and it wasn't stablized.

I've personally always liked the MH pieces with more translucent areas.

Wish I could get hold of some nice ones. I have one slab. Went to cut a preform and it came apart.

I have some Lagunitas, Hornitos and Guadalupe. I have some old MH left that I put superglue in the cracks years ago and probably needs to be treated if I wanted to cab it.

I also have some very solid slabs of old stock, heavily silicate MH. The poppies are very small, so I don't see any point in cabbing it at this time.

I just cut up a bunch of old Morgan Hill PJ and was amazed at the variation in poppy size, colors, matrix etc. Yes it has lots of fractures, but working around those still produces some amazing stones.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
