That looks great. It's not poop, it's dendritic opal or what some call opalite. I think that came from the McDermitt, NV area where I collected it several years ago.

thank you! I figured I was wrong, always seem to be when guess an ID lol. and thanks again for the slabs!

Much more control to use just your hands. Dops good for tiny cabs.

I think it's awesome you've been able to transfer from dremel to cab machine! I can't imagine the time spent with the dremel didn't have anything but a positive effect on your "next step" in this adventure!

thanks! there are definite similarities with how I had to maneuver the stone around when I dremeled and now on the genie that I didnt expect would transfer over as much as they did. very happy that it hasnt been as big of a change as I expected
