That Biggs is PRICELESS! Don't cut it!!! It has an amazing portrait of an one-eyed woman, like a Picasso style painting! So cool!

Cacoxenite Is usually found in Brazil, the threads can be orange, black, gold, etc. It is very popluar with the mineral/spirit crowd, and quite pricey!! I know this having spent some $$ on slabs of it for Tony for Christmas, and it makes a super duper cab!!!
Very nice finds Beef!!! Get cabbing, your cabs are awesome, and you have great material!

Beef: As I recall, sometime last year you did a stop at the rock shop in Globe, and made us drool like this time! That must be a really great shop to stop by. Woody

I see her too...I think she is trying to be sultry. You may have not taken much money with you but you sure ended up with some wonderful slabs! I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the cacoxenite! Fran

Super-duper slabs! I see some awesome cabs in there, but there are a few that look like great display specimens without cabbing. My favorites are the golden chatoyant Cacoxenite and the Mexican agate. Garry
