I got this material on ebay and because my optimistic side took over. Pictures were accurate for what they showed.
3 slabs; one badly fractured, one unusable and one confusing. One piece of rough that I got 4 slabs from. It took a while to find the scenes.

This is from the vuggy Morgan Hill I got. There's a vug or chip in the bottom right corner. I left some room to lower the girdle and like all vugs it may go away or get worse. Through 185 hard.

It has such a unique look, despite its frequent flaws.

I completed 5 out of 6. I skipped the least interesting Tahoma because my fingers were geting chewed up depite using a dop.
The two shields have some vugs. The long one has a big crystal vug and is otherwise clean. The last one has a small crystal vug.

The Morgan Hill has some very minor vugs but it could have been a lot worse.

The third Tahoma with the vug is probably my favourite, although I'm also partial to the first two. I like the Morgan Hill cab a lot as well.

The one with the crystal vug is my favorite also. I'm a sucker for crystal vugs and it took the best polish. It also has the boldest scene and I really enjoy having a cab turn out better than expected.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
