My rockhounding ebay/bargain huntin orders arrived today including the big Morgan Hill. I can't evaluate that until I cut it up.
The Morgan Hill I bought years ago was darker and more solid. I bought material like this somewhat later and it is more problematic but makes nice cabs.
These were all inexpensive purchases:
Two single cab Willow Creek slabs
Three Tahomas
I cut up a small piece of Tahoma rough which is better than what I have left to cut but probably B cab material
A small piece of Morgan Hill that I got 4 slabs from but two were unusable. I trimmed up what was left and If I get one nice cab out of it I've done well. Photographed dry and the color is typical of the lighter Morgan Hill material and both pieces have some quartz.
