My sister had one of those rubber bouncy balls when we were kids. It was clear rubber with glitter throughout the rubber. This totally reminds me of that! Don't try to bounce this one though!

Amazingly beautiful cab! Included quartz can be so interesting. The popular ones are rutilated or tourmelinated quartz, but there are so many others that are stunning.

Do you have a picture of the rough before you cut it? I would love to see it.

"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."

I better not show that picture to my daughter or she will be wishing that everything we tumble looks like that!

That is incredibly nice! Aventurine without the green, so you can see the glitter all the way through.

If you could find a large enough deposit of that you'd have a very "marketable" product there.

I'd have to polish a window on one side of a rough chunk and keep it like that. Only because I've never seen anything like it before, and if I saw it only as finished cabs I'd wonder if it came out of a wok somewhere. It's just too clear and perfect!
