Dang, Victor! Super cabs and material, as I'm looking I think I found my favorite and then I scroll down and find another favorite. And another. And another.

First and last are my favs. Great work. I am assuming the last one is healed and solid..

Standles, the last cab does have a chip but is solid. I included this brecciated cab because of a very nice pattern. I could reshape without much effort and might do so.

Exactly my experience, too, Mike! These are outstanding, victor1941! |

Wow! Just wow.
The two below the Needlepeak label are so striking in their colors. The second one in particular with those bold red brushstrokes.
But the last one doesn’t look like it could possibly be in one piece!

Woodward Ranch, TX: Absolutely gorgeous - all of them! This one is my favorite, though.  |

Victor, every time I see you post this West Texas material I tell myself I am going to get busy with my stash from that area.

Brian, the last stone is in one piece. The voids are filled with translucent and/or dark material and the cab survived a UV-18 vibe for 10 days.

Brian, the last stone is in one piece. The voids are filled with translucent and/or dark material and the cab survived a UV-18 vibe for 19 days. It’s really amazing how translucent that material that filled those voids is. Zooming in on that photo just makes the gold colored rock look like it’s floating. You do incredible work! |

I'm not sure it's appropriate to try and pick a favorite out of this batch as they're all amazing...but...LOL I'd have to say I agree with Robin's pick...but then that last one that Brian was pointing out almost takes the cake for me too! I just love that brecciated look on that one.  |

I just love that brecciated look on that one. I was having a problem picking between those two. But the pattern and colors in my fav won out over the brecciated one only by a hair. |
