I am not too interested in selling any, but I would be willing to trade some slabs for some finished cabs from the material. Don't have any idea what would be a fair trade but if your interested let me know.

Wow that is some nice plumes. PM me if you are interested in trading for cabbing services.

I don't see what the big deal is. It doesn't have that much to recommend it....
Just kidding - WOW! That is some great material. Get to cabbing, I want to see the finished product.

Beautiful plumes and textures in all of them! Tony is great at cabbing so you can't go wrong there! Fran

Gotta love the symmetry in those plumes. Makes you wonder where the "Stinking" part comes from. Karock

Those are awesome!
Just out of curiosity .... the plume part .... isn't that a softer section?
I am having such problems working with combination rocks, I need all the help I get. Or ... are you using a lap versus tumbler?
Mine undercut and pit easily and then the polish gets in there and I cannot get it out.
As always ... Julie

I am new to this, so afraid I can't help you much. The pictures were taken right after they were slabbed. They have oil on them so they look polished. I sent a box to Tony today, he's going to make some cabs out of some of the slabs. Stay toned we will see how they turn out. I have cut a lot of this material now and just my observation is that it appears the plumes are just as hard as the other material.

Karock:
The 'stinking water is from the smell of the creek water. It is potable, but smells awful. Not far away, is another creek named Sweetwater...you guessed it, the water is sweet.
