Hey all. A mutual friend of everyone here(and former member) stopped by my house today and gave me a couple of chunks of this material. He didn't seem to think it was of very high quality, but I managed to coax this cab out of one of the pieces. I love working this material. 33x18mm I think I may have chosen the wrong side for the front though. Here's what it looks like from the back. He also left an 80lb boulder of jade for me to cut in half for him too. I'll post pics of that later on.

That's quite an exotic cab Ed! Sweet. You gonna slice that boulder up or just cut it in half? I'm seeing two 40lb doorstops here!

Um Ed, Marry me! - that cab & those you posted on the cabbing section are amazing! I like the size you chose too!
Not sure where Tony got the rough from, but the vendor that Sands had mentioned to me only delivers in the US - he seems to have the nicest stuff - for me, any opal is amazing and you seem to work the magic out of them...
