I picked up some of this Condor rough last 4th July at a rock show in Flagstaff (coincidently the same show where I met Ralph and Maryann for the first time). I've cut a few here and there since then, and they've all been ok.. nothing spectacular. That is, until the one I cut last night. In this horribly blurry photograph I've kinda reassembled the rock to show you how it looked before I cut it Then after the first lil slice... The slabs and the faced rough Pretty sweet, no? Thanks for lookin! ;D

"Nifty"...understatement of the decade!!! That is mind-blowing. I love the colours and the contrast with the white. Very nice, indeed.
