Nice little Olympic Poppy I cut recently with a vein of green epidote running through: And one minus the poppies with a big Epidote inclusion:

This doesn't have the epidote but it's one of the first cabs I've had time to cut from your material. Hope to do more when time allows.

Man that's bright! Nicely done. I'm looking forward to the day when I get the tools to try my hand at cabbing... Thanks for showing!

I love the pistachio green of the epidote. It's a little intrusive and shows up in a lot of places. Looks good in that poppy jasper.

Nice stuff for sure! I have not slabbed any yet, but love to look at it.

That cab is beutiful, it's really hard to imagine it came from that rough! It didn't. Thanks for the compliment but it came from rough I purchased from Good Earth that had a pattern similar to the first image. I only posted it to show what his material can produce, and the cab is far from being the "pick of the litter." While it has many challenging hidden fractures the material has excellent lapidary potential and lots of variety.

The slab is really cool and the cab nice as well.

Awesome material !!! I bought three lbs. from you off ebay and received it today. I can't wait to tumble some of it but have to wait until I get some room in the barrels. I have a piece sitting on my desk now that I can't stop looking at.
