Hello, Here's a specimen of a local rock that comes usually as a mix of white - beige rhiolite and purple agate. You can see some cabs made out of this type of rock hereThe red color that you can see in the pics below comes pretty rare in this rock. That's why I didn't slaughter it for cabbing - it's pretty fractured anyway, I don't think it would had made some decent slabs for cabbing. So I left it as a specimen and just correcting a bit some of its surfaces and polishing them. Thank you for looking, Adrian

Very nice Adrian. I love how you polish things but still retain some of the "natural" look.

That red color makes a really nice shelf specimen. I see why you didn't want to cut it up into cabs. Garry
