Those first two slabs in particular look like they are full of some great patterns and colors. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

Looking great!

Pretty slabs, Mike! Love the orbs in your preform. That's going to make a really cool cab!

"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."

Thanks!

I ordered a couple of pounds from The Gem Shop. I may have to get some more, I dremeled that preform last night and it played nicely.

I'll put a picture up here in a bit.

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing/following the work.

Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting that The Gem Shop has some great inventory.

Wow, that first cab is looking promising. The colors are outstanding, and who wouldn't love moss and fortifications combined (if someone doesn't, please don't answer. I don't want to know....

).
