If you google "purpurite rough" the pics look more like what I had.

I don't know now. I'm thinking maybe yours and mine are the same thing, but not purpurite. I tried to find the remaining rough but it must be in one of the "Misc Rough" boxes, argh.

Yeah, gotta keep the pressure on just so he won't forget to post the pics. We do keep missing each other Scott. Maybe Vista.

My favorite is the serpentine. GORgeous! You're doing a great job, all of them are well cut!

Maybe Purpurite? The pictures google brings up look a little different, like stichtite content or something, but I cut one a while back that ended up looking kind of about like yours. In fact, the purple got so dark I thought it vanished when I polished it.
The purpurite I got from a reputable and beloved seller on ebay (I just can't remember his name at the moment, just woke up. It's coming to me - his real name is Gary . . . now what the heck is his store name) looked almost exactly like your cab.
Edited to add: that thing doesn't look anything like labradorite.

Vista show is outdoors in a field but the field is part of the antique steam and farm equipment museum. I think it is larger than Stoddard Wells. Certainly laid out more organized and hooray, nice clean restrooms. For anyone like me that likes old tractors there are acres of old equipment to look at while there. Lots of rock too as it is a low cost "tailgate" type show good prices too. "Lots of rock too" ---- Had it in pencil, now it's in Pen!

So is the Vista show kind of the same flavor as Victor Valley? Outdoors, vendors camping, etc?

Cool I might try to make it to Vista, never been to that one. Paul's right, Searchers is a really fun show. I love their silent auction.

Maybe you're right - Not sure. I think it looks about the same honestly. But I haven't seen it in hand. Either way, a gorgeous stone beautifully set, and a happy customer.

That's really pretty! Love it. Let me go dig up my Fairburn cab picture . . . (What happened to the "hiding under a chair" smiley?)
Oh and JUST KIDDING y'all, no Fairburns have been harmed in the name of jewelry (by me anyway). Yet.

I like the "specific shape" idea.
