Really pretty colors in that.  Is it always fractured like that or is it cuttable?

I slabbed it up with no problem.

This was the only piece I ever found. Luckily it it was sufficiently large to get a number of slabs from it.

The slabs look solid.   :headbang:

You know, the more I looked at it, the more it was morphing into Howardite in my brain.  The colors are very similar and if were layered instead of more "conglomerate" looking, it would be a dead ringer.
