This material is great to cut for both beginners and experts. Because of the patterns there is very little waste, and when slabbing the pattern can change quickly making each slab and cabochon unique. The material is relatively soft and comparable to cutting Sonora Dendritic or Picasso stone.
Pieces range from either broken chips or full pieces weighing 3 - 10+ lbs in size. Red coloring is sporadic, and may not be present in the piece you receive.
Minimum order 3 lbs. If you order 1lb, you will only receive material that has broken away, which will be small pieces or chips suitable for tumbling.
Pictured wet and dry, with examples of finished cabochons produced from the material.
