I asked ya if you wanted a couple chunks of what I got, or a couple slabs. Now will you say yes?

That onyx is beautiful. I just bought three small pieces of lace onyx. It's not real hard, is it? Can you tumble it or is it just for cabbing? I'm going to try to cut mine. Does it take a real good shine?
All your pictures are fantastic. Looks like you have a lot of fun, or work coming up, depending on how you look at it.
Love them all,
