My aunt went to a show in PA. While there she bought me a stunning slab. It is Native Copper from Adams County PA. I am thinking about keeping it just like it is. I am a little afraid to cut it.

That is really neat Jonje. I like the copper color contrast within the quartz and black part of the slab. It is a nice specimen as is. Steve

You can still ask me what to do with a slab if you don't want to cut it. But I think that won't be the same after I'll finish building my cabbing machine ;D

Jonje, that slab looks familiar, was it the show in Emmaus that she went to? Not many slabs there but that one sure is nice. Its a beaut of a specimen.

Looks great, I say don't cut it. You'd probably get more comments having it as a display piece than splitting it up to make smaller items (IMO).

Wow. Really pretty. It looks kind of like a map of another world or something really old like that. I would leave it also. I've never seen anything like that before. Tammy

Wow! That's gorgeous Jeremy. I think I'd just cut a little off the left side.. enough for one or two cabs and keep the rest intact. Nice slab!!
