I cut this cab by hand and it's been polished both front and back with slightly rounded bottom edges for easy setting.

Mohave Verde-Antique, found in Arizona and California, is a unique blend of three types of Serpentine that has been highly silicated and brecciated with the voids interlaced with specular hematite which occasionally will show small areas of native silver interspersed through it. Essentially, to be very specific, it’s “Brecciated & Silicated Antigorite/Lizardite/Williamsite w/Specular Hematite; Quartz & Trace Native Silver” and has been given the name Mohave Verde Antique. The California material is also referred to as Verde Antique Marble and, in my experience, often shows more areas of white quartz.
