I've got a bunch of this, I think I will probably have to face polish it rather than cab it though. It was mined sometime a long time ago, it is in veins of host rock and so far a lot of it breaks apart pretty easily if I slab it, although I have enough that I may not have seen the best stuff.

That's a beauty. Would it be a candidate for stabilizing?

I don't know, this is the first end cut and it was breaking apart just in the saw.

It sucks when you get a beautiful rock that falls apart on the saw but that's nature. You could always use my wife's method. Throw it on the floor and then sort through the pieces for any that are cab worthy.

Nice looking, hopefully you'll find some more stable samples. It would sure make a beautiful cab if it held together.
