Had a chunk just begging me to cut so I accommodated. Love this material. Easy to shape and polish. Sometimes a challenge to get a pendant shape that blends with the grain pattern. Always fun...Now I get to stare at it...

That's a very cool pattern to that material.  I sort of get the "sailing ship on moonlit water at night" vibe from it. :icon_rr:

Nice pieces, Picasso is one of my favorites. If you need more I have quite a bit in multiple colors I like to trade for material I can't collect myself.

Very picturesque! A well-named material. You could very easily just frame an entire slab.
