This is the first time I have ever made a cab from this material. It is very hard to get any of it being there is one deposit of the thundereggs and the owners prefer to sell them as polished specimens. I can't blame them though the specimens are amazing. As a cabber I had to get a piece to cab up. The slabs

May sound dumb for asking but what causes the lines in it ? Reason I ask is a friend and I found some odd tube stuff that resembles the look of that slab of yours and we are unsure of what it is? Like a grass look

May sound dumb for asking but what causes the lines in it ? Wondered the same, braders. Is it manganese oxide (psilomelane?) inclusions or sagenite?
