Vaquilla Moss Agate

I have threatened to do a before and after with a rock slab turned cabochon for eons now.  Well guess what, here it is:

Back in February, I bought a slice of Vaquilla Moss Agate from an EBay seller from Montana.  Looking through his two pages of items I saw a lot of rare and/or old stock rock.  I was lucky enough to win the bidding.  Here is a link to esciguy:

Anyway...back to the Vaquilla Moss Agate.  Here is a photo of the cut slab>

 

 

Here is the finished cabochon from the same area of slab.....



This cab measures 45mm x 39mm (widest) x 6mm and took a high shine in Rapid 61 polish.
