Looks like museum pieces! I know you like to make cabs, but it would almost be sacrilege to cut those 2 pieces up.

There are 3 options; cab not cab and sell. You can't uncab. I would recommend drawing some preforms and see how nice the cabs are.
You have two very similar slabs. You could keep one and decide what do with the other one later.
One of the issues with BM is with few exceptions is that the patterns are large and get destroyed when cabbing. My avatar cab is one of the exceptions and I've only seen one set of single cab slabs on ebay where they would make beautiful cabs. They were on auction and went for a good price. I kick myself for not making a high bid. They were unique.
It would be difficult to replace them with something as nice. It would involve cutting a lot of expensive material. I think you could get hundreds of dollars on ebay for one of them on a buy it now/make offer. Probably best to keep them as they are, unless you have a project for making something big.

Do you need my address? I'll keep them safe from all these shameless people who covet them. A purely selfless act, I assure you.

I have the Host rock with maybe 3 more cuts of the same view. You are right about cutting a lot of expensive material,it's nice when one of these pops up! |

Although i see a bunch of nice cabs? These must be left alone. Polish one, cab the other? I would probably cab both because it's what I enjoy doing best. |
