Epidosite that i found a few blocks away along with my Unakite ..this stuff is strong because it has no feldspar in it unlike the unakite which has feldspar and fractures more easily I have yet to have a slab fracture with this ... ..Heres a cab I made and Iam also selling some slabs on ebay sometime maybe by next week under the name slabidary which I use for slab sales only !!My other name I use for everything including the unakite rough is Crossfirebusiness ..I probably have enough of this stuff to go around if someone here on RTH is interested in some rough !!! just pm me and we"ll work something out ... Thanks for looking at my cab!!! This cab is very different for me because I tried something new here for me and I think it worked well ... I made the girdle angle smaller on the bottom and more outward and bigger ..(basically the opposite the genie machine tool for setting girdles ) on the top of the cab to give it a sharper appearance from the top view ...probably not good for setting it but I dont plan on setting it ... so I think it worked well ...What do you think

Thanks Greg

I like the rock, the color, and the shine. I've made similar shapes and like the look (of course, I did it by accident!). I'm sure someone here could wrap it! I also remember seeing a crocheted wire sling that held rocks that would work too. I'll see if I can find it.

If you hadn't told us differently, I would have guessed that was maraposite that is very soft or tree agate that generally has a lot of vugs in it. You did a fantastic job with local material! Fran

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
