I got some slabs from marinedad last week and this cab was made from one of them. I dont have a clue what is but it has a great green/blue gemmy area in it. The green stuff is not at the surface there is a layer of clear agate over it. Thanks Chuck

my only uneducated guess would be some sort of chrysocolla/breccia combo.

That is totally cool. I've heard that material is rare now.

It's cool stuff. The needles gem and mineral club owns the claim on it, but it's never been known to produce much material. I lived in Lake Havasu for several years and see it every once in a while.
