You were up to all kinds of challenges today. Great job on all of them! I agree that that cab is Covellite.

Great job! I like them all. That brecciated mookaite caught my eye - like you said, lots of character.

It was called a mookaite, but I have never worked one as soft. It's not a soft stone, but not as hard as the mooka I have worked with. |

The white mooka often is. And, as you said, softer is very much a relative term. |
