Here is a freeformish rose quartz cab. I freeformed the bottom of the cab so I think it sort of counts! 😂 I bought this in a fist sized chunk in California, slabbed it, and cabbed it. Thanks for looking! flic.kr/p/2mGW15Q Oh yeah, and can anyone guess the comic in the background?

Nice looking cab!

Comic looks like Calvin & Hobbs?

"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! Yes, only a true fan would recognize that. I love those comics! They are a big childhood memory for me so I still love them! 😃

Our neighbors named their cats Calvin and Hobbes

I’m sure they’ll be up to lots of no-good
I always thought that it was amusing that they were named after a theologian and a philosopher.

Thank you! Yeah, it did grind pretty easy. I liked that it ground faster because I only have silicon carbide wheels and belts on my machine right now.

Thank you!Happy to hear there are so many other fans😂! The rose quartz looks really nice in person because there are a ton of fractures that flash when you tilt the stone. I'm not sure I should have cabbed it but it was fun!
