Sometimes I like to use some of the chalcedony the fire agate is in. I think it adds to the stone. What do you all think?

Looks great! I actually like it better than without the chalcedony. The white chalcedony is like a contrasting 'frame' in this cab; this way there's more going on visually and I think it shows off the fire much better. Beautiful.

That is a beautifully thought out cab! Stunning, actually. Way to go, Christopher!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
