This material was found or bought in the 60’s or 70’s and was cabbed in the last 15 years. I was sorting some Marfa plume and this was part of the mix. Included is the box of material I was making pictures from to use as a size reference. Let me know what you think.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220218/80bcc257b85a475e4e9620aeec320406.jpg)

Fantastic material. Maybe if you get time you could recut those into incredible cabochons. It looks like they were cut to size and tossed into a tumbler so the soft areas got chewed away. I went through that myself with plume agates and am now going back and recutting some of my early cabochons. Just wish I had some of that material in my recut pile. Beautiful!!!

All material was finished in a UV-18 vibe and some does show undercutting. Some pieces may be reshaped.
