Worked a corner of a slab I got last September at the Denver show, trying to do more with what I have. Sent from my phone.

I've gotten several nice chunks as well. I am finding that I have to work smaller with the Rocky Butte or I'm not happy with the cab. I think that the material is so pretty I tend to want to use too much, but then the results are a letdown. I'm pretty happy with this piece.

Excellent selection and use of the pattern! Some Rocky Butte makes great collector-type cabs, but the patterns and colors can be so "busy" that what works for a specimen can be difficult fitting into a jewel design. Very nice cab.

Beautiful piece, John! I really like the layout of this. Don't feel bad about working smaller. In this economy, I'm finding that "less is more!" Better to sell 2, $30.00 pieces than have one $60.00 piece sitting forever! Great job and the shaping is really nice on that too!!!
