I thought so, too. I had no clue it was hiding those beautiful fortifications and that little splash of color. Now the hardest part for me...deciding on a shape for a cab! |

Nice slab, haven't seen a cold mountain look like that. I'm going by memory, Billy, which sometimes can't be trusted. I did also get a chunk of sagenite...maybe I'm incorrect. Any thoughts? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll fix the title. Now you've got me doubting myself.!  Edit- I checked my previous post with Cold Mountain slabs and I think I'm sticking with my original thought. For now.🙂 |

That's not sagenite, it's moss.  |

Both the one in the link and yours are nearly identical...and both are gorgeous! (It's not the first time that my "vote" for something didn't count for squat recently! LOL) |

My head hurts now. |

My head hurts now. LOL - I'm one of the worst when it comes to identifying rocks...so I've got to put all my slabs into ziplock bags with a note in each one with what's in the bag. I have gallon freezer bags for some of the bigger batches...but each one has the name in the bag. Otherwise they'd all be posted as "unknowns"! LOL |

Very nice! Gotta love fortifications flowing through moss! (or vice versa even)  |

Oh the cab possibilities! Wonderful Yeah that's the hard part! I'm only going to be able to make one cab out of it...so I better choose wisely! |

So I changed my mind and cabbed the reverse side, here's what I came up with. It still needs polished, thanks for looking!  |
