Great sphere Jhon!   It's Wenden Marble. I hope it has the different colors.

Here’s the other piece. Got a 4” cube out of this piece. It’s in the machine getting ground round.
The other one I cut two 3 1/2” and one 3” cube
The Picasso is pretty dark but has good patterns. A 4” preform goes into the
Machine next

Really like the texture of that piece.  I completed a couple from a Victorville source on rocks in our club yard and they were rather plain I must say...a beautiful soft green but rather plain.  I prefer the more complex texture in your sphere.

Pm me your address and info I will send you a few rocks. I will see if I have a good piece of
That to send too.
