So my son was off yesterday and he decided to cut up some rocks. I gave him this Teepee Canyon to cut up for my, it's probably one of my favorites that I've found. I've posted the pics of the stone before but I'm showing them again so people who may not know what the rough looks like can see. I think I can get maybe 4 decent cabs out of it. Thanks for looking. How I found it:  After I split it and what I found inside:  And the first cab:  |

That red is So bright. I’d be tempted to carve more matrix off to showcase it.

Wow that’s insane! I’d probably pass out if if I ever cracked open a rock and saw something like that. Especially with something that looked so plain to begin with.
