This was just a small batch. Probably only 1/2 pound of rocks and the rest of the loto was filler material. I used this as a test run for some of the contest rocks. Some still need some work but plenty of time left. Here are a few of the cabs. To see the rest head over to the cabbing section. Thanks for looking Chuck

We ordered some Rhodonite (not contest related) and ran some test pieces and really did not like it. Ours is about a 90/10 split black to pink. It shaped and polished okay, it is just not that nice to look at. Your pictures are making me want to search out some better rough.

Al What you describe is pretty much my I experience with rhodonite up till this point. A few of these are surprisingly nice. Chuck
