Very nice stones! I like the sag the best, too.

"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."

Top drawer material without paying a very high price is difficult to find. I like working on a lot of different material and Horse Canyon Moss agate along with top quality butterfly wing are particularly difficult to find.

I got a small chunk from an opal guy some years ago. I didn't have a saw so I had someone slab it and they took their cut. I found a piece on Etsy that I used to make this cab at a reasonable price. There were 3 scenes and I cut the best one first and the piece fractured, so I ended up with this cab which was the second best scene. It has the layering of moss that I really like.

Do you still have the fractured pieces? Earring cabs, perhaps?

I guess I was traumatized by the fracture. I don't toss stuff and the scraps were on the work bench and bigger than I remembered. I'll put them in a project box.
I liked the pattern on the broken cab on the left. It looks like it could be glued together, but it would probably fracture again.
