From what I understand this is Madagascar material, a super cool little slab I picked up a few weeks ago. Thanks for the look

Yes. Madagascar is what I understand too. Very neat stuff. I had this chunk I was told was Misty Mountain, but mine had no pink: But I have also seen it called polychrome and some all grey varities called Dunes. WHne the bluish part is more black, I have seen it called Desert Jasper, but that usually has no orbs. I think either several adjacent claims, or variable material and lots of trade names. I've seen cabs with high polish. I also got this little slab from WestCoastGems (I think). It has the pink, but not as clearly stacked orbs:

I just got a #1 chunk of it on ebay recently. My trim saw is too small to cut it but I was able to nibble of a piece for a cab: Scan isn't very good. Hills are more pronounced.

Those are some really cool slabs. I especially like that one of Beefs! That is gonna make some outstanding cabs. Can't wait to see a few. BTW, that little cab of yours looks really nice stardiamond. Steve
