Truly beautiful material. Ive always loved it. Looks like you had a really solid piece there......most of the FTO that Ive seen has had fractures.

Great looking cab Dan! Did you have to do any kind of treatment or fill any pits? I've never tried it because I figured it might be a difficult stone to work.....Mel

Beautiful material and great job on the cab! It looks like a cross between crazy lace and ocean jasper.

That looks Awesome! How soft is that material? Is it hard to work with? Fran It's pretty soft Fran.. about the same as Malachite or Chrysocola. I never touched it to the 60/80 grit wheel at all... shaped the dome on the 170/200 wheel. But It does take a decent shine... Thanks again for the nice compliments folks... Dan
