Very cool Bob. I've admired Nipomo material for years but not had the pleasure yet. Bonus on the druzy!

I suppose that if Bob got a good slab 2 feet tall he could do it if anyone here on the could it would be him. That is very pretty with the druzy in the middle.

That's really a fine example of Nipomo material, executed very skillfully. And with all your "big cab" experience I imagine a 2-foot stone would be child's play.
