Hopefully the beauty of the slab will compensate for the poor photo quality. I cut several slabs of this today, and unfortunately was saddled with some fractures, but many of the pieces will justify freeform cabs.

It has a distinct feel of petersite.

I have seen slabs I have been tempted to buy but it's the fractures that always scare me off. Would love to see what you do with it.

I've cabbed a bunch of Nellite and the fractures are definitely something you gotta work around.
