Mintabie Carving
This was a 2 oz slab of Mintabie. There's color but it's not very bright. Some of it will come out when I polish it but it made a great carving piece. Now lets hope I don't pop it when polishing...

Finished. You have to have a good light and get up close and personal to see the color though.
