i keep a ball peen hammer within arms range of my cabbing machine
this ensures i do not waste more time than necessary on an unforgiving piece ,,,its actually very satisfying
and for me? saves time...i will grind a piece into nothing if i am left to my own "has to be this way" self
here are the ones that didn't get smashed

The Larimar and Tiffany Stones are to die for. Gorgeous!

"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."

Whoa, gorgeous as usual. You set that bar rather high. I’d clean up your shop to get your scraps (and maybe a couple of good pieces when you’re not looking).

I was just working a slab I got from you a couple of years ago, believe you called it Morgan Hill Forest Fire. Like it a lot.
