Marfa TX moss? Cab I just cut

My first attempt at cutting concave. I used a small slab that I had and kept the natural shape.
I know this came from the marfa tx area not exactly sure what it is. I'll be putting it in one of Don's six point wire mount examples. Hopefully I shrink the pics correct.
Pretty happy with how it turned out this is my first cab in about a year and one of only about 12 I have cut in my life. The only thing I don't like is when held to the light it appears to have scratches in the surface, but actually it is scratches on the unpolished back side that can be scene through the agate.

Nice looking! It looks to be from the west Texas area.

Wow, very nice. Reminds me of an island atoll with a clear blue lagoon. Fantastic. Like the curved shape.
