Just finished doing this one for the July entry of the cab contest. I had a 1/4" slab of a nodule sitting in my shop and finally took the time to cab it-the whole slab! This cab is 64x44x6.3mm!

First picture reminds me of something like "Clouds over African Rift-Valley". Way to go.

That is an exceptional cab. I often find myself compelled to cut some large cabs as I just hate to leave any of the scene out. I is a bit of a challenge at times but as seen from your giant it is well worth the effort. Stu

Great pattern, Ed. Hard to beat RSJ when the pattern is great. Shines like the sun too. T

Ed, Awesome cab! It's hard to cab anything less than the entire slab. It would be a shame to break it up.
I made a cab of Royal Sahara jasper that was about 4x2.5" & double sided. I had it sitting in my booth & a guy asked how much. I blurted out $125 & he said yes.

Reminds me of the opposite of Christian Lasson paintings...instead of oceans, its desert. Very cool! Scott
